Dubai is perfect for car photoshoots — the entire city looks like a perfect scene for mind-blowing photos. It’s also a place where you can easily get any top-notch car from a luxury car rental service like Trinity. On top of that, Trinity allows you to rent Lamborghini, Ferrari, Rolls Royce, and 80+ other fancy cars in minutes without a deposit.

So, there are some stunning spots and easy access to the most amazing cars in the world. But where should you start? There’s no need to drive the streets randomly, looking for a perfect spot. We’ve already chosen the most mind-blowing car photoshoot locations for you.

Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Beach Residence

If you’re looking for the best car photoshoot locations, you’ll definitely find many in the Dubai Marina and JBR area. It’s home to lots of luxury hotels, yachts, designer stores, and modern skyscrapers. Moreover, Marina’s waterside provides a unique scenic background that may look completely different in the daytime or at night when the lights of skyscrapers and waterfront lights create a unique atmosphere without any extra lighting equipment. There are also a lot of wide, palm-lined roads, different background textures, and modern murals and street art masterpieces. Whatever your photoshoot theme is, you’ll find a matching scenery.

As for specific locations, consider going to Pier 7, the Walk (main promenade) at Jumeirah Beach Residence, Bluewaters Island Beach Bridge, or Dubai Mall. You can rent Ferrari or another car that matches the spirit of this area easily from Trinity and use it not only for photoshoots. 300 km, VAT, full insurance, and access to toll roads are included in a daily price, so you’ll be able to take photos and visit other amazing places in Dubai without any difficulty.

Meydan Bridge in Dubai

Maydan Bridge is one of the ideal locations that everyone who comes to Dubai should visit. It’s rightly considered one of the most beautiful and mind-blowing architectural masterpieces worldwide due to its distinctive wave-like structure and LED illumination that perfectly complements all those luxury cars driving down this road daily. Moreover, the bridge is isolated from the city center. There’ll be fewer distractions, and if you come to the spot at night time, the traffic will be significantly reduced, creating a perfect setting for a professional or amateur photo shoot.

The access is super-easy for vehicles, and if you position the car between the arches to achieve the ideal symmetry, you’ll get amazing photos. What car should one choose for this spot? You can rent Porsche, for example, the 911 Targa Techart, Mclaren 720S Spider, Ferrari Roma, or another elegant and, at the same time, vivid and even a bit aggressive model from the Trinity car fleet that will contrast the waves perfectly.

Business Bay

Business Bay is also perfect for those who expect to find unforgettable car photoshoot locations. That’s the perfect area to enjoy the views of Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, and Downtown Dubai. Any photo shoot taken here will reflect the urban aesthetics and iconic landmarks associated with the city. The best thing is the Dubai Canal winds through the area, making Dubai’s skyline look even more vibrant, especially at night.

There are a few specific spots you may consider. For example, you can go to Dubai Canal Promenade, the futuristic Opus building, Marasi Marina — a waterfront oasis with amazing views, the JW Mariott Marquis Driveway, or the Bay Square Area. you can get a car specifically for your photo session for a day or long-term rental. For example, Lamborghini Urus from our fleet matches the atmosphere of Business Bay perfectly and is super comfortable for long rides, too. Note that if you choose the Trinity rental, you’ll be able to get a car at a reasonable cost and pay with cash, car, or even in cryptocurrency.

Al Qudra Desert

Car photography can be taken to a new level at Al Qudra Desert. Sunrises and sunsets there are absolutely unforgettable, creating a perfect natural setting for a photo session, especially if you are more into minimalism in photography. Sand dunes create a perfect background making a viewer focus on the luxury car, and the contrasting colors and textures create a beautiful contrast. If you are looking for alternative settings, you can also take photos on gravel roads, in front of rocky sections, and near lakes.

You may consider going to the road leading to Al Qudra lakes, taking pictures in the lakes area, or visiting Love Lake for a more romantic experience. If you’re ready for off-road experiences, visit dune-bashing spots for unforgettable views and high-quality photos.

Palm Jumeirah

Palm Jumeirah is the iconic place for a car photoshoot Dubai. It has it all — huge cultural importance, recognition all over the globe, amazing coastal views, high-end villas, and luxurious hotels, each of which is an architectural masterpiece. This stunning location attracts everyone, from wedding photographers and tourists to owners of luxury cars and those renting a fancy vehicle for their trip to Dubai.

So, you get it all — amazing waterfront views at night and daytime, lots of top locations to take photos, well-maintained roads, and a lot of glamour in the best sense possible. If you’re seeking specific spots, consider going to the Atlantis Hotel, the public beach along the Palm, the frond villas area, or Al Ittihad Park for lots of beautiful palms. We believe that sports cars match this area perfectly, and if you want to rent one, you can choose any of Trinity's top-notch vehicles. Your personal manager can help you make the right choice and help you with anything till the last day of your vacation or business trip.

La Mer Beach

La Mer beach is another interesting place to consider. It’s a bit different from other places we’ve mentioned previously, including beaches. What’s so special about it? Multiple things, actually. First, it’s its modern aesthetics. There are a lot of murals and artworks, chich retails, unique restaurants, and buildings that make the place stand out. Third, it’s a very lively environment and a lot of scenic views.

If you’re looking for a specific sport, we’d recommend going to the road along the boardwalk, mural locations, wooden piers, or the main entrance area. However, keep in mind that the place is really crowded during the daytime, so choose early mornings or late evenings.

Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood

If you are tired of urban locations and believe that cultural authenticity is the most important thing, you will like Al Fahidi better. This historical area is very different from all the above-mentioned places. It captures the spirit and the unique atmosphere of old Dubai — it’s filled with historical buildings, multiple wind towers, and of course, classic Arabic designs. There are all those narrow alleys, sandy walls, and neutral colors. Pretty much everything screams “history”.

However, you should also consider that there are space constraints. There are places you can get by car and places for pedestrians only, so plan your route carefully. Ideally, visit Al Fahidi at least once before going there specifically to take some amazing pictures.

Kite Beach

Kite Beach is another great place for those who appreciate the urban views of Dubai. Here, you can take photos of your car in front of the legendary Burj Al Arab, the Arabian Gulf, and, of course, the amazing coastline. The atmosphere is quite relaxed — the natural breezy setting, a lot of cafes, trucks, surfers, and accessible roads make it nearly perfect for lifestyle photography. Moreover, you won’t have to worry about lighting — there are a lot of natural soft, and warm lighting that will complement any luxury vehicle perfectly.

As for the specific locations, consider taking photos near the store line, the parts where you’ll have a direct view of the above-mentioned Burj Al Arab, a good parking spot or a kite surfing area so amateur and professional surface become part of your vibrant photo’s background.
