Birthday? Anniversary? Just a normal weekend?

Special occasion or not, HeliDubai is ready to blow your mind with one-of-a-kind views of the magnificent skyline of Dubai.

Views that not many others have seen allow you to experience Dubai on a whole other level, thousands of feet high!

With friends? Family? Alone? You can book a single seat or even an entire helicopter – and regardless, an unforgettable experience awaits you.

Feel like a celebrity as you are escorted to your helicopter, following a thorough and proper safety briefing. Windows cover the helicopter from all angles, you are guaranteed a VIP view no matter which seat you have!

Different packages are available, based on flight times and attractions.

My scenic 12-minute tour exceeded my expectations, but if you wish for longer, tours as long as 40-minutes are purchasable.

And it’s not as if you skirt around the city – the flight path starts from the Dubai Police Academy, just by Madinat Jumeirah, and you fly directly over Dubai’s main sky-views – very impressive.

Selfie with the iconic Burj Khalifa!

World islands…Bet you’ve never seen them with your own eyes before!

Your helicopter pilot, not only will smoothly navigate your tour route, but will talk you through the famous landmarks of Dubai.

A piece of advice – go during sunset time!! Countless buildings in Dubai reflect the sunset so beautifully, yet alone the sea water! It really tips the experience over the top.

And end off your tour by strutting out of the helicopter with professional videographers capturing high-quality footage from all angles.

Oh, and you aren’t done yet…Pose for some pictures before heading back inside to an instant viewing of your pictures, ready for purchase and for sharing.

There is no alternative to viewing Dubai from the air – a truly irreplaceable adventure that will stay with you forever.

Highly recommended for all residents and visitors: a unique perspective of the one-and-only Dubai city.
