5 Popular Music Videos Filmed in the UAE

The UAE is no stranger to the spotlight and music videos are no exception. Recently, Imagine Dragons, an American rock band, released their new video Thunder and it caught the attention of many as it featured prominent areas of Dubai.

Imagine Dragons – Thunder

The video was shot in the Dubai Design District (D3) as well as other known areas of Dubai, such as City Walk, Sheikh Zayed Road and the Dubai Marina. The iconic Burj Khalifa is also featured in several parts.

Shot by music video maker Joseph Kahn, the black and white video takes on a sci-fi feel, depicting three alien beings contorting as the video goes on. While it was a little on the creepy side, we enjoyed seeing all the familiar spots.

Thunder wasn’t the only music video shot in the UAE. Here are four others…

Wiz Khalifa – So Much

In May 2016, the rapper Wiz Khalifa shot the music video to his song So Much in Dubai. The video shows the rapper haning out with tigers, feeding giraffes and riding an ATV in the desert.

Tinie Tempah – Flash

With all the yachts, luxury cars and over-the-top parties, Dubai was the perfect spot for Tinie Tempah’s Flash music video. The British rapper filmed the clip over a weekend here when he also performed a concert at White Dubai.

 Karl Wolf – Get Your Own Way

RnB singer Karl Wolf shot his version of Fleetwood Mac’s Go Your Own Way. The video shows off the city’s glamour and the scenic views of Hatta.

This isn’t the first time the Lebanese-Canadian singer films one of his music videos in Dubai. He previously also shot the video of his song Yalla Habibi here as well.

DD Foxx - Crazy World ft. Abdullah Bal Khair

Stepping away from all the glitz and glamour, pop singer DD Foxx along with Emirati singer Abdulla Bal Khair shot their music video Crazy World exclusively in Ras Al Khaimah.
