OUTDOOR ADVERTISING RULES, PROPERTY REQUIREMENTS & APPROVALS IN KHALIFA CITY
Outdoor advertising in Khalifa City is subject to applicable requirements together with conditions relating to the specific advertising location, media format, property, media owner or operator and advertising asset. Requirements can vary between roadside, residential, retail, education, healthcare, transport and other controlled environments.
Authorised Advertising Locations & Approvals
Advertising should use authorised media assets and approved locations. The presence of a residential community, major road, school, healthcare facility, shopping destination or other property does not automatically mean that advertising inventory is available at that location.
Current availability and applicable requirements should be confirmed for the specific advertising asset before artwork production or booking.
Advertising Dimensions, Positioning & Artwork
Display dimensions, height, orientation, positioning and creative specifications depend on the individual advertising asset and location.
Artwork should comply with applicable content requirements together with the technical and creative specifications provided for the selected media placement. Certain advertising categories may require additional documentation or approvals.
Road, Structural & Installation Requirements
Roadside and public-facing advertising should be planned with consideration for traffic visibility, pedestrian movement, surrounding infrastructure and location-specific safety requirements.
Physical advertising installations may also be subject to structural, engineering, access, installation, maintenance and removal requirements applicable to the selected advertising asset.
Digital OOH Requirements
Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) screens may have asset-specific requirements covering screen dimensions, file formats, animation, creative duration, scheduling, creative rotation, share of voice and other operating conditions.
Exact specifications should be confirmed for the selected digital screen or media network before creative production.
Property, Transport-Operator & Media-Owner Requirements
Advertising within shopping destinations, schools, healthcare facilities, community properties, bus shelters and other controlled environments may have property-specific, operator-specific or media-owner requirements in addition to applicable approvals.
Available formats, locations, campaign periods, access arrangements and installation requirements should therefore be confirmed for the selected advertising asset.
Important: Advertising inventory, technical specifications, property requirements and approval procedures may change. Final requirements should always be confirmed for the specific advertising location and format before artwork production, installation or campaign booking.
