Reels & short video in Old Dubai — from $290. 90 min on location with a vetted local videographer, and you receive 3 vertical reels, 15–60 s each within 3–5 days. The price is agreed before you book and does not move.
Why here
The lanes of Al Fahidi are barely two metres wide and empty at seven in the morning; by ten they are a tour route, and by noon the coral walls throw back heat like an oven. That is what decides how a session is planned here: the videographer you work with shoots in Old Dubai all year, so they are not seeing the place for the first time alongside you. That prior knowledge is the difference between a shoot that lands inside its window of light and one spent looking for a frame.
How the shoot is planned
The typical plan runs 90 min: we start at Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood and move on to Abra crossing, Bur Dubai to Deira. Two locations rather than one give you two distinct backdrops, and the transfer between them is timed in advance so the soft light is not spent in a car.
The hour matters more than the location. For Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, the window to aim for is from first light until about 9 am. The session runs 90 min and is built around that window rather than your diary: from May to September the middle of the day in the UAE is hard light and dangerous heat, so sunrise and the last hour before sunset are not a preference here but the rule.
What’s included
The Reels & short video package in Old Dubai covers: Three edited vertical reels, 15–60 seconds each; Shot-list and audio trends agreed beforehand; Colour grading and licensed or platform-safe music; Delivered within 3–5 days. Nothing is added to the price after the shoot. Permits worth knowing about: Abra crossing, Bur Dubai to Deira — a small cash fare per person.

Before you book
For Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, aim for from first light until about 9 am. At a busy location, two hours either way changes what can be framed at all.
At some locations, yes: Abra crossing, Bur Dubai to Deira (a small cash fare per person). The videographer handles it and tells you at booking, not on the day.
We move the shoot to another slot or another day at no cost. If you are only in the UAE briefly, we switch to backup locations scouted in advance rather than cancelling.
3 vertical reels, 15–60 s each within 3–5 days. Everything arrives in a private online gallery, at full resolution, downloadable from any country.
