Dubai is more than skyscrapers and shopping malls — it’s filled with breathtaking outdoor spots perfect for family photography. At Mohastudio, we love helping families create timeless memories in scenic locations that reflect love, connection, and culture.


Whether you’re drawn to natural backdrops or architectural beauty, here are our top outdoor locations for family photoshoots in Dubai.


1. Al Qudra Desert – For Golden Hour Magic


This iconic spot offers endless golden dunes, perfect for:

• Sunset family portraits

• Traditional Emirati attire

• Boho-inspired or neutral-toned themes


We schedule desert sessions during golden hour for soft lighting, dreamy skies, and stunning sand textures. Ideal for families with children 2+ who can enjoy running on the dunes.



2. Al Barari – A Hidden Garden Paradise


Tucked away in Dubai’s heart, Al Barari is full of:

• Lush greenery and tropical trees

• Wooden bridges and secret paths

• A peaceful, fairytale-like atmosphere


It’s a top pick for mamas who love garden vibes or families who want nature without traveling far. Especially beautiful in spring and winter months.


3. Old Dubai – For Culture & Heritage


Al Fahidi and Al Seef areas are full of:

• Traditional Arabic architecture

• Wind towers, wooden doors, and stone alleys

• A timeless feel that honors UAE heritage


Perfect for Emirati families or those who want a vintage or modest look, especially during National Day, Eid, or Ramadan campaigns.


4. Kite Beach or Jumeirah Beach – For Coastal Vibes


Want a relaxed, fun session? The beach is always a good idea. We recommend:

• Early morning or sunset sessions

• Coordinated light-colored outfits

• Barefoot moments with splashing waves


Ideal for playful family shoots or when you want to add movement and joy to your photos.


5. Mushrif Park – A Natural Forest Experience


Located near Mirdif, Mushrif Park features:

• Forest-style trails and wooden cabins

• Large open fields for kids to run

• Great privacy during weekdays


It’s a less crowded alternative to busy beaches and gardens, offering a calm natural atmosphere.


6. Downtown Dubai – Urban Elegance


For families looking for a modern luxury aesthetic, Downtown Dubai offers:

• Burj Khalifa and Dubai Fountain as backdrops

• Elegant city vibes and luxury architecture

• Great for formal family portraits or brand-style shoots


This area pairs beautifully with minimalist outfits and high-end styling.


7. Your Private Villa or Farm


Want a more intimate shoot? We offer on-location sessions at your villa, family majlis, or private farm. This allows for:

• Maximum privacy

• Cultural or religious preferences

• Personal touches that reflect your story


Perfect for large family gatherings or private celebrations.


What to Consider When Choosing a Location:

• Time of year (weather and lighting)

• Children’s age and comfort outdoors

• Outfits and styling preferences

We always guide you based on your goals and customize your session for the best results.
