In Jordan, the team serviced an 11-day road-trip episode supported by Visit Jordan across the country's major road-trip locations.

THE BRIEF
Jordan Road Trip. Dubai Records.
Top Gear France came to the region for two separate productions: a Jordan road-trip episode and a Dubai supercar episode, Le monde des records. Both were automotive broadcast productions built around cars in motion, changing locations, road access, and the timing that Top Gear filming demands. The Jordan road-trip episode moved through the country's major road-trip and landscape range, including the Dead Sea, Wadi Rum, Jerash, Petra, Amman, Ma'in, Wadi Araba, and Aqaba. The production required 11 shoot days across real roads, desert terrain, heritage access, city movement, coastal routes, and changing landscape conditions. The Dubai episode, Le monde des records, carried the heavier city logistics: 50 supercars, 17 Dubai locations, and a large crew moving through a live city across five shoot days. The shoot included Skydive Dubai Marina area, Dubai Desert, Burj Khalifa, Sheikh Zayed Road, Skydive Dubai Desert location, Motor City, and multiple convoy routes across Dubai, with controlled road access, permits, ground and aerial filming, and city coordination planned around the schedule.
VERSANA'S ROLE
Production Servicing Across Jordan and Dubai.
The producer team behind Versana Productions managed production servicing across two separate production territories, working within the production service structures in place at the time. In Jordan, the road-trip episode ran across the country's landscapes with support and coordination with Visit Jordan, Jordan Tourism Police, the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, and The Royal Film Commission – Jordan. In Dubai, the team built the servicing around road logistics, controlled access, permits, convoy movement, vehicle coordination, and aerial filming, with support and coordination with Visit Dubai, Dubai Police, and Dubai Film and TV Commission. Across both productions, the responsibility was the same: keeping a mobile automotive unit moving through real locations, on schedule, with the access and coordination a broadcast shoot requires.
RESPONSE & EXECUTION
Cars in Motion, Cities in Sequence.
In Jordan, the road-trip episode moved across 11 shoot days, with location access, permits, route planning, road movement, and field logistics built around the shoot. The work followed the nature of the episode: a travelling automotive production moving through Jordan's landscapes, heritage areas, desert terrain, and road routes. Separately, the Dubai production, Le monde des records, ran on movement. Fifty supercars, vendor coordination, and a large crew moved through 17 Dubai locations across five shoot days, with convoy planning, staging, and controlled road access holding each setup together. Ground and aerial filming ran in sequence, with support and coordination with Dubai Police and Visit Dubai around road access and city coordination.
Two automotive and documentary productions were delivered across Jordan and Dubai: an 11-day Jordan road-trip episode and a 50-supercar Dubai episode, both kept moving by the producer team behind Versana Productions through access, logistics, road coordination, and shoot-day control.
PRODUCTION PROOF
What the Producer Team Handled on the Ground
Road Locations & Access
Across Jordan and Dubai, the productions ran on route planning and location access: the Jordan road-trip moving across landscapes, heritage areas, desert terrain, and roads, and the Dubai production moving through the city on controlled routes.
Vehicle Logistics & Convoy Movement
Fifty supercars moved through the Dubai production. The team coordinated vendor vehicles, convoy planning, staging, and timing, keeping the fleet moving between locations without losing the schedule.
Permits, Authorities & Aerial Filming
The productions ran on permits, authority coordination, and road access. In Jordan, the work involved support and coordination with Visit Jordan, Jordan Tourism Police, the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, and The Royal Film Commission – Jordan. In Dubai, the work involved support and coordination with Visit Dubai, Dubai Police, and Dubai Film and TV Commission around city access, controlled routes, permits, and aerial filming.
Shoot-Day Production Control
Across both production territories, the team held call times, transport, safety, communications, and movement, keeping each automotive unit on the road and on schedule.
