Sea Planes, launches, sea swings and hammocks. With a great beach bar chiriguito. The boutique private island resort will cleanse your body and soul.

Landing Beach

This beach has an impressive mountain backdrop. And the beach has an acute curve to it so if your filming location requires sight of both water breaks it can be achieved but it’s also large enough to film without seeing them. The water drop off is very gradual so fantastic for filming at the waters edge.

This beach has a slightly different way of obtaining filming permits. So “Ask Fi” how.

There is a great opportunity to film war scenes here, the foxholes behind the beach offer perfect hide and seek cover. I first filmed here in 2019 and as of 2022 construction hasn’t started on the island. I can send a scout to show current state of the island.

Uncrowded Beach Film Location

An uncrowded Beach Film Location Has a very slight curve to it so if your filming location requires a long shot at the waters edge of a person/s walking along this will suit you. At one end there is a public beach volleyball net. The water drop-off is very gradual so fantastic for filming water gently washing over feet. This beach can be very popular on public holidays. Although a holiday spot there are also times when its empty. Sunrise is best here for back-light. Situated 1 hour outside Dubai, Ras al Khaimah has lots of uncrowded beaches.From the pictures you can see there is plenty of parking on hard asphalt ground, and space for catering and base camp. There are rest rooms and showers. Set back from the beach there are several restaurants, bakery and coffee shops if you are a smaller crew and don’t want to bring professional film catering in, but it is available. There is a growing number of local film crew available in Ras Al Khaimah including 1stADs, production assistants, makeup artists, art department. Several horse riding stables and experienced animal handlers. A great uncrowded Beach Film Location.

Diera Old Souq Abra Taxi Moorings (evening)

A romantic form of travel and a great filming location this is one of Dubai’s oldest forms of transportation. It is still surprisingly cheap and a great way to traverse over and along the creek.

An Abra is a traditional wooden boat now motorised, that has been used since pearl dealers travelled across the creek on business rowed by oarsman. They are the gondolas of the creek. The Abras are still very busy for workers, businessman and tourists.
