Real estate videography
in Dubai, priced and explained.
For agents, brokers and developers: what real estate videography costs in Dubai, what each price includes, what moves it, how fast it is delivered, and when photos are enough.
How much does real estate videography cost in Dubai?
Our published prices: a Property Reel from AED 1,500 (one vertical film of one listing, shot and edited, delivered within 48 hours), a Full Listing Set from AED 3,500 (cinematic walkthrough, two reels and 25 edited HDR photos, formatted for Property Finder, Bayut and Instagram), and monthly partnerships from AED 12,000 for brokerages that list every week. Both one-off products can be booked at a fixed price without a call.
Quotes in Dubai range far wider than that, because "real estate video" covers everything from a phone walkthrough to a branded film with a presenter, a drone operator and a colourist. Compare what is included, not the headline number.
What moves the price
Three things: access and time (a Palm villa that needs sunrise and sunset is two visits, a Marina apartment with good afternoon light is one), people on camera (agent-led reels take direction and a little more time, and they are the reels that book viewings), and languages (a second-language cut for buyers abroad is editing and voice, not another shoot).
Captions, formats per platform and a second round of edits are part of the set, not extras. If a quote lists them separately, add them up before comparing.
Photos or video?
For a standard apartment in a known tower at a known price, professional photography with a floor plan, published quickly, does the job. Video earns its place when the buyer is likely to be remote, when the layout is unusual, or when the property competes with many similar listings and needs a person and a story attached to it.
Delivery and formats
Reels and edited HDR photos are delivered within 48 hours of the shoot, in the aspect ratios each platform wants: vertical for Instagram and TikTok, landscape for portals and YouTube, stills sized for Property Finder and Bayut. Rush delivery is available.
What the results should mean
Views are not the KPI. Saves, shares, profile visits and WhatsApp messages are. For one Dubai brokerage we film agent-led villa films in the buyer's language on Saadiyat Island listings; what matters to their team is the enquiries those films produce.
