There’s that unexplainable feeling when you recognise the scenery in the middle of a high-action movie scene. In Jack Ryan: Ghost War, familiar Dubai locations suddenly appear between chase scenes, covert missions and tense action. How many spots will you catch before the movie ends?
The film premiered on May 20, with John Krasinski returning as Jack Ryan and other big names joining the cast, including Sienna Miller, Wendell Pierce and Michael Kelly.
Dubai was one of five cities chosen for filming and steals plenty of attention in the trailer alone. Check it out below, does anything look familiar?
The story follows Jack Ryan as a new international mission pushes him back into the middle of espionage, rogue operations and a dangerous global conspiracy. We’re not spoiling the rest of the plot, but if you want to know which other parts of Dubai might suddenly pop up during Jack Ryan: Ghost War, here are the filming locations to look out for:
- Dubai Marina
- Al Seef
- One&Only One Za’abeel
- Emirates Towers
- Gate Avenue
- Burj Park
- Dubai’s desert
The UAE keeps landing in big Hollywood productions lately. Dune: Part Three recently returned to Abu Dhabi’s Liwa Desert for more Arrakis scenes. F1 Movie also brought movie cameras straight into the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend to capture the energy of the action. Now Jack Ryan: Ghost War shows the world some of Dubai’s most iconic spots.
