It is illegal to fly a drone for commercial use without a permit anywhere in the UAE. If you would like to fly a drone for personal use, it is a legal requirement in Dubai that you obtain a hobby license. Through our close relationship with SANAD Academy, the region’s first Civil Aviation certified drone training academy, you can obtain a license to fly a drone for personal use for just AED 500. The instructor will teach you how to fly safely and show you where you are allowed to fly.
