Podcast production in Dubai, at your home or office

Short answer: CEMA Media Productions records video podcasts on location across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. A crew of two arrives with 2 to 3 cameras, studio lighting, a mixer and microphones for 2 to 4 people, and turns your office, majlis or living room into a podcast set. A half-day recording starts from AED 3,000, a half day with one fully edited episode from AED 4,000, and a monthly show (4 edited episodes and 16 clips from one visit) from AED 11,000. Edited episodes are delivered within 10 working days, with a rush option. There is no travel charge.

Why record at your place instead of a studio?

What we bring

• 2 to 3 cameras: one on each speaker and a wide shot, so the edit can cut between angles.
• Microphones for 2 to 4 people: two podcast microphones and four wireless microphones, recorded through a mixer.
• Studio lighting that makes any room look like a set, in an office, a majlis or a living room.
• A crew of two: a videographer and an assistant who set up, record, and pack down. You just talk.
• Arabic or English, or both in the same show.

Packages and prices

Add-ons: extra edited episode AED 1,000 · 5 vertical clips with captions AED 750 · rush delivery in 3 working days AED 500 per episode. Every project is quoted on its brief.

The best value is to batch. Because the crew and equipment are booked by the visit, recording four episodes in one day costs far less per episode than four separate sessions, and gives you a month of content from a single morning’s preparation.

How it works

1. Tell us about the show. Who is speaking, how many episodes, and where. Send a photo of the room and we plan the set-up around it.
2. We arrive and build the set. Cameras, lights, microphones and mixer. Set-up and pack-down are part of the session, so you don’t lift a thing.
3. You record. One episode or several, back to back. We watch sound and picture the whole time.
4. We edit. Multi-camera edit, colour grading, sound mix, intro and outro, and vertical clips if you want them.
5. You publish. You get files ready for YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts within 10 working days, or 3 with the rush option.

Who it’s for

• Founders and executives who want a show but can’t lose half a day travelling to a studio.
• Companies recording a branded podcast, an internal series or customer interviews at the office.
• Doctors, lawyers, consultants and brokers building authority with expert conversations.
• Creators who want their own look instead of a rented set.

Shows we’ve made

We built Entertain Train, a comedy channel created by our own team in our studio, which passed 20 million views in under 60 days. Its show Connect 4 is ours from idea to edit: watch season one on YouTube. We have also filmed a podcast for Mamo, and turned boxer Ziyad Almaayouf’s podcast episodes into reels that reached more than 7 million views. Podcasts sit alongside our content creation work for founders, creators and brands, so the same team can turn each episode into reels and social content.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to record a podcast at my office in Dubai?

At CEMA, a half-day on-location recording with a crew of two, 2 to 3 cameras, lighting and microphones starts from AED 3,000. A half day with one fully edited episode starts from AED 4,000, and a monthly show of 4 edited episodes plus 16 clips starts from AED 11,000.

How many people can be on the podcast?

Our standard set-up covers 2 to 4 people on camera, with two podcast microphones, four wireless microphones and 2 to 3 cameras. Tell us if you need a larger panel and we’ll plan the extra equipment.

Can you record several episodes in one visit?

Yes, and it’s the best value. A half day is enough for 1 to 2 episodes and a full day for up to 4, so one visit can cover a month of weekly episodes.

Do I need a special room?

No. We light and frame the space you have, whether it’s a meeting room, an office, a majlis or a living room. A quiet room is the only real requirement. Send a photo and we’ll tell you how we’d set it up.

How long until I get the edited episode?

Edited episodes are delivered within 10 working days. A rush option delivers in 3 working days for AED 500 per episode.

Which areas do you cover?

Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, with no travel charge.
