It wasn't filmed there. It was filmed in Morocco and they just said it took place in Abu Dhabi. The UAE government said they couldn't film there.

It might seem like a random topic for me to know, but I lived in UAE for a portion of my life and the government is pretty mindful of having their name associated with some of the themes you'd typically see with that particular TV series. So I was quite surprised when they claimed it was Abu Dhabi, and not surprised that they actually filmed it elsewhere.
