Description

Explore the United Arab Emirates through the eyes of the camera.  Our base will be in the vibrant city of Dubai to capture the amazing high-rise vantage points of one of the worlds top cityscape of Dubai.  Plus, we will also visit Abu Dhabi and Sharjah to photograph the traditional and cultural elements and the vast desert landscape.  

The temperature in January is actually mild and may get cold in the early mornings so this gives us more chance to witness the city fog during the twilight.  This is the perfect time to shoot the dramatic skyline of Dubai with some vantage points offering incredible urban landscape views.

Although this tour is mostly focused on the iconic views from the different balconies around Dubai, we maximized our itinerary to add the opportunity to capture everything this destination can offer.  This is why we will also photograph some of the largest sand dunes in the world and explore the Old Town with its traditional laneways, drive to Abu Dhabi’s famous Sheikh Zayed Mosque and create magic in one the most amazing photography studios. This trip is the ultimate photo tour that will bring together all the diversity, culture and excitement of Dubai.
