We enjoyed the tour, but we were expecting to see Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab and Atlantis from closer positions, and the helicopter passes away from them. Nevertheless, I recommend the experience. El tour ens ha agradat, pero pensavem que veuríem el Burj Khalifa, el Burj Al Arab i l’Atlantis d’aprop, i no ha estat aixi. L’helicopter passa una mica lluny. Ho recomenem igualment.

I took a taxi from the hotel to the helicopter center. There I was first informed about all safety precautions. Everything was very well structured. I sat in front next to the pilot. The flight over Dubai was worth seeing. On my next Dubai vacation I will book a helicopter over Dubai again.

Wonderful wonderful wonderful experience 12 minutes may not seem like a lot of time your made welcome you are offered water and photographs at the end. The flight gives the amazin3 view of the palms and other land marks, you really dont need more than 12 minutes. This is a helicopter (Eurocopter) after all
