Helicopter Tour
See Dubai's icons from the sky — Palm Jumeirah, Burj Khalifa and beyond.
Overview
A helicopter tour is the ultimate way to grasp the scale and ambition of Dubai. Lifting off from a coastal helipad, you'll soar over Palm Jumeirah, the Burj Al Arab, Dubai Marina and — on longer flights — the Burj Khalifa and the World Islands, all laid out beneath you like a model city.
Flights run from 12 to 25 minutes, each with panoramic windows and headsets so you won't miss a landmark. It's a splurge, but an unforgettable one.
