Meanwhile Dubai has also been chosen as one of the filming locations for the upcoming Star Trek film, the third in the franchise. Although Dubai’s futuristic skyline seems like it would make the perfect setting for a sci-fi city, it looks like it’s also being used as the the crashing landing site of the Starship Enterprise.
In fact, the UAE has played a starring role in many blockbuster movies thanks to its futuristic skylines, royal palaces and epic desert wilderness. Take a look at this complete guide to Hollywood movies filmed in the UAE.
