'Planet Of The Dead' will be the first of four specials before Tennant leaves the show, and will feature guest stars Michelle Ryan and Lee Evans.
Producer Tracie Simpson said: "We rarely take Doctor Who abroad, although we did visit Rome for series four's 'The Fires Of Pompeii', which gave us some spectacular footage.
"The locations in Dubai are a perfect match for writer Russell T. Davies's vision of the episode, and we expect to film some incredible scenes while we are here."
Recently it was confirmed that the special would be the first Doctor Who episode filmed in high definition.
