Well gentlemen I have to say that our name and reputation had finally paid for it self DUBAI4X4 was being reviewed a few months by an American company in the USA and last month (November) a few members from DUBAI 4X4 were chosen to take part in the filming of the Warner Bros movie SYRIANA starring George Clooney, Matt Damon, Amanda Peet, Max Minghella, Michelle Monaghan. The story focuses on the CIA, telling the story of how the spy group lost funding and failed to keep an adequate eye on the Middle East after the end of the Cold War. Specifically, agent Robert Baer, upon whose memoir this film is based, is a central figure.






This is me and my Souped up Land Cruiser



Our Job was to drive stunt vehicles in the desert in a convoy at very high speeds and included a few extremely high jumps which is not strange to the DUBAI4X4 crowd, we filmed extensively for 20 days in the hatta area straight from 4 am to 8 pm every day and to be honest it is very exciting and demanding work but the worst part came in when we were asked to roll two cars on their sides and I was extremely delighted.

In my 20 day movie shoot I got to sit down with the stars and spoke a little bit about careers and how difficult is it to move around and earn millions on each movie. lol In the first few days of the shoot George Clooney and Matt Damon were always surrounded by bodyguards till things became more relaxing and they started chit chatting to us about the Arabian culture and life but what made things more comfortable was that Matt Damon was sitting with me in the Land Cruiser for some shots of the movie and that gave us a chance to have a few laughs and get to know him as a person.

I am truly honored to have taken a part in this mass production movie under the name of DUBAI4X4
Here are a few pictures that I was able to take during the movie shoot, I do have a few more but will not be able to present them on the site due to restrictions.

Here is a picture of me with the main stars of the Movie
