What to do and see in Dubai, Emirate of Dubai: The Best Helicopter Tours

January 29, 2022 Terina Blouin

Dubai is a destination that mixes modern culture with history, adventure with world-class shopping and entertainment. Catch a show at the Dubai Opera, see downtown from atop the Burj Khalifa and spend an afternoon along Dubai Creek exploring the gold, textile and spice souks. If you’re looking for thrills, you can float above the desert dunes in a hot air balloon, climb aboard a high-speed ride at IMG Worlds of Adventure or skydive over the Palm Jumeirah.

This was a wonderful experience - much better than I expected. The guys on site were fabulous - they worked really hard to ensure that everyone had a great experience. They were really friendly, inclusive and nothing was too much trouble for them. Their sole focus was to make sure everyone was enjoying the activity. All components of the activity were well thought out and constructed, with a few additional touches like the camel ride, the head scarf. The pilot was really charming and great at making everyone feel secure and in good spirits considering the early start ! Highly recommended.

We picked the Red Dunes package which starts early afternoon and ends up around 23:00. The Land cruisers are the highlight of this tour. Amazing way to drive through the desert. 2 points for improvement. 1: when guests arrive at the camp for dinner its already dark so the experience with the camel ride (that lasts only 1')! its not so appealing. In my opinion this must be moved earlier to the programme . 2: the activities-shows are basic and nothing special. Also due to Covid -19 henna drawing is not allowed.

Dubai has been seen by many, but not everyone has seen it from above. Ever wonder why The Palm is called The Palm? Or why the Burj Al Arab is labeled a 7-star hotel? Or maybe wonder how the world looks at The World Islands? Or imagine getting an up-close look at Burj Khalifa? These wonders are created for someone like you to enjoy and appreciate. The city is rich in both natural and man-made creations that adorn the skyline and this beauty can be seen only from above. There is only one way to do this, take a helicopter tour! You are sure to have the most memorable and exciting aerial tour ever.

Inclusions: Light refreshments, Live commentary on board
