About this experience
Take to the skies for a short helicopter ride that circles Dubai's most iconic landmarks. From The Palm you’ll glide over glittering skyscrapers, luxury resorts and the striking archipelago of artificial islands.
What to Expect
You’ll board a modern twin‑engine helicopter at a helipad on The Palm and lift off for a panoramic circuit lasting around 15–20 minutes. The pilot will point out landmarks such as Atlantis, the Burj Al Arab, Burj Khalifa and the World Islands while you enjoy unobstructed views. Commentary is usually provided in English, and many flights offer optional photo‑capture assistance.
Who It's For
The experience appeals to couples seeking a romantic perspective, families looking for a memorable adventure, and photography enthusiasts eager for unique cityscapes. It’s also popular with first‑time visitors who want a quick overview of Dubai’s skyline without spending hours on the ground.
Good to Know
Dress in light, comfortable clothing and wear closed‑toe shoes; temperatures can be cooler at altitude. Arrive a short time before departure for safety briefings, and bring only small personal items as cabin space is limited. Visibility is generally best on clear days, so flexible scheduling helps you catch optimal lighting.
Approx. duration: 12 - 25 minutes

“I was a fantastic adventure to see Dubai from the air and get the opportunity to take pictures and above all enjoy the views in person.”
— Milan
“All went very smoothly, the only suggestion for improvement is the photos. They say in the instructions that the photos will be taken, you shouldn’t worry about this. And the price for the photo package is too expensive.. They would earn more if the photo prices would be more affordable”
— Anna
