How an Abu Dhabi booking works

Four steps from first email to event/shoot day. Lead times tuned to Abu Dhabi reality — faster than international travel because the rig is already in the country.

  1. Brief

    Day 0

    You send the venue, dates, and event/shoot type. We respond within 24h with availability, fit, and a feasibility note specific to your venue.

  2. Recce + paperwork

    Day 1–5

    Site visit by our safety officer (Dubai-AD round trip same day). Venue ops gets the regulator-ready safety packet and rigging plan.

  3. Mobilize + set up

    Day 6–10

    Truck haul from Dubai (1.5h). Crane, sphere, and crew on site. Pre-event rehearsal. Choreography to your show flow, click track, or LX cue list.

  4. Show day

    Event day

    Performance windows synced to your event flow. Strike same-day or next, depending on venue access. Truck back to Dubai base.

Abu Dhabi-specific FAQ

How long does it take to get the Globe to Abu Dhabi?

The sphere and crew are road-mobile from Dubai — 1.5 hours by truck. No freight, no international staging. We can be on site for setup the same day a Dubai shoot wraps.

Have you worked at Yas Marina or Etihad Arena before?

We have specced and performed at Yas Marina-area venues, particularly during F1 / GP-week activations. Etihad Arena and ADNEC fit our envelope (15m × 15m × 12m clearance). We send a venue-fit checklist on inquiry.

Do you handle ADAFSA / Civil Defence approvals for Abu Dhabi venues?

We provide the safety documentation, structural calc sheets, insurance certificate, and risk assessment in regulator-ready format. The venue submits as part of their existing event clearance process; we attend pre-event meetings if requested.

What's the lead time for an Abu Dhabi booking?

1–2 weeks for known venues with confirmed crane access. F1 / GP-week activations typically lock 6+ weeks ahead because of venue lockdown and traffic plans. New sites need a recce visit which we can do within a few days.

Can you support GP-week activations or Saadiyat / Yas Bay outdoor moments?

Yes. We have crew availability planned around F1 weekend each year and have specced for outdoor sites including Yas Bay and Saadiyat. Outdoor venues need a defined weather contingency — we agree this in pre-production.
