Full details

The UAE permits personal and professional cameras without special import permits for travelers. Commercial photography and filming require separate permits from local authorities but bringing equipment through customs is straightforward. Drone cameras are regulated separately.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Personal cameras are fine. Commercial filming requires permits from local film commissions, not customs.
