He also did a helicopter ride and the landing officer Wali Khan posted a photo with the star. Wali told the Gulf News, that the Mission Impossible star was not filming in the helicopter and was only there as a customer.
This is not the first time Tom has filmed in the UAE. His Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol has a breathtaking sequence shot at the Burj Khalifa.
Meanwhile, his new Mission Impossible Fallout releases July 27.
Tom was in Dubai in February as well and was hosted by a Dubai celebrity who posted the photo on Twitter.

Director Christopher McQuarrie suggested that the movie’s main unit had wrapped filming on February 22, but that a splinter unit, which often shoots at a different location, was still shooting.
“3000 setups, 13 helicopters, 6 pregnancies, 5 hiatuses, 4 weeks of aerial photography, 3 continents, 2 winters, 1 broken ankle,” McQuarrie posted to Instagram. “[M]ain unit...That’s a wrap. Splinter unit, mount up. Time to shoot the stunt.”
