In Furious 7, what city contains the skyscrapers involved in the team’s car jump?

The story behind the answer

In Furious 7, the skyscrapers involved in the team’s car jump are in Abu Dhabi.

The sequence shows Dominic Toretto and Brian O’Conner driving a Lykan HyperSport from one Etihad Towers skyscraper to another and then into a third building. It is one of the film’s signature practical-looking action moments and emphasizes the franchise’s increasingly international scale.

Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates. The sequence is often casually attributed to Dubai because Dubai is more widely recognized for its skyline, but the film identifies the setting as Abu Dhabi.

Furious 7 was released in 2015 and was directed by James Wan. The film also features the final major performance of Paul Walker as Brian O’Conner before Walker’s death during production.
