United Arab Emirates · HELICOPTER TOURS
Good helicopter tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 12 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
See Dubai from The Palm by helicopter, 12 to 25 minutes over Atlantis, Burj Al Arab, Burj Khalifa, World Islands, and Dubai Marina.
“An unforgettable helicopter ride with breathtaking views,worth every moment”
Take a 12-minute helicopter flight over Dubai’s Palm and skyline with live commentary, optional hotel transfer, and photo add-ons.
“The service is like no other, it would be better to have the price of photography included in the ticket price”
Fly over Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah, and Dubai Creek on a short helicopter ride with live onboard commentary and light refreshments.
“Great experience, very well organised and safety of us passengers was maintained at all times. Highly recommended”
A 17-minute narrated helicopter flight over Palm Jumeirah, with Burj Al Arab, Atlantis, Burj Khalifa, and more from Dubai Police Academy.
“Have done this before, shorter journey, but today felt very different, very safe in Franciscos capable driving, loved the jet ski trails on the gulf”
A 22-minute Dubai helicopter flight over Burj al Arab, Palm Jumeirah, World Islands and Burj Khalifa, from Helidubai at Dubai Police Academy.
“Great way to see city very professional and all safety process in place from covid to flight.”
Take a 17-minute Abu Dhabi helicopter tour for $192, with pilot narration and aerial views of Corniche Road, Marina Mall, and Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.
“Es war einfach mega und ich kann diese Tour nur weiter empfehlen! Traumhaft!!!”
A 30-minute helicopter ride over Dubai’s icons, with pilot commentary, small-group seats, and big photo moments from Burj Al Arab to Creek.
“Ingesamt ist das Angebot kommerziell organisiert. Fotos und Videos vom Veranstalter sind extrem teuer. Das Einsteigen sowie das Aussteigen ist in den 30 min Flugzeit inkludiert, was eine effektive Flugzeit von knapp unter 20 Minuten bringt und den Preis so hausgemacht in die Höhe treibt. Die Route wurde leider um einen Fotostopp gekürzt, denn das Museum wurde nicht angeflogen. Alle anderen Fotostopps sieht man nur aus weiter Ferne, was aufgrund des ständigen Dunstes in Dubai keine klaren Bilder bringt. Der Transport zu unserem nächsten Reiseziel wurde uns auch vom Veranstalter angeboten und wäre doppelt so teuer gekommen wie das selbst organisierte Bolt Taxi.”
30-minute shared helicopter tour over Abu Dhabi, from Mina Zayed Port. See Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Emirates Palace, and Gulf views.
12-minute helicopter over Dubai icons, plus Lahbab dune bashing, quad biking, sandboarding, camel ride, and AC desert refreshments.
“Helikopter był ok, ale cała reszta fatalna. 5min na wielbłądzie, jeden zjazd na sandboardzie i 15min po wydmach. Na sam koniec czekaliśmy 2h na lot helikopterem. Nie polecam.”
Helicopter over Dubai, then Old Town walking, Abra across Dubai Creek, and guided souk time for gold and spices, plus snacks.
“The tour was excellent, I fully recommend it. The helicopter ride is amazing, you need to try it. Our guide Nour was perfect, he told us many amazing details and have response for every our questions. He was so kind, wait for us, when we needed, also he show us very nice Micheline restaurant and give us tips for next trip. We fully recommend him.”
A private 17-minute Abu Dhabi helicopter loop with pilot narration and big convex windows, flying past Corniche Road and Sheikh Zayed Mosque.
Private helicopter tour over Abu Dhabi highlights like Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, Corniche, Emirates Palace, Yas Island, and the Gulf coast.
“Excellent experience, great pilot and wonderful views of Abu Dhabi. Would recommend doing with family to see Abu Dhabi better”
Pick the kind of day first, then the best of it.
