When a scan is the right choice
- The unit is vacant and easy to access.
- Exact sizes matter, for a buyer comparing floor areas or a dispute.
- A premium listing where a full media package (photos, drone, tour) is part of the brand.
- You list on Property Finder and want an approved 360° provider on the listing (Kuula is one).
When a tour from photos is enough
- Off-plan or handover pending: there is nothing to scan yet, only renders and plans.
- The unit is tenanted and the tenant won't open the door.
- The buyer is abroad and asks about the floor, the view, the sun and the walk, not only the rooms.
- You have many listings and can't book a photographer for each.

How we compared
Dubai prices come from the Real Estate Club Dubai directory and its 2026 cost guide, which list 360emirates, Matterport UAE and 3DTour.ae; we could not read every provider's own site, so treat them as indicative and ask for a quote. Highbuilt's price is ours. We run Highbuilt.
FAQ
How much is a 3D virtual tour in Dubai?
For an on-site Matterport scan, from about AED 590 for a small unit to AED 1,500 or more for larger ones. A Highbuilt tour from photos is $100 for the first listing.
How long does a Matterport scan take in Dubai?
The visit itself, then 24 to 48 hours of processing, according to local providers.
Can I get a 3D tour of an off-plan unit in Dubai?
Not with a scan, since there is nothing to scan. A tour rebuilt from the developer's plans and renders is possible; see how to show an off-plan unit.
