Witnessing the Palm Jumeirah from the ground is impressive, but seeing it from the air is transformative. This engineering marvel was designed specifically to be appreciated from the sky, where its perfect palm tree shape emerges from the azure waters of the Arabian Gulf. Our curated helicopter tours offer an exclusive perspective on Dubai's record-breaking landmarks that no other vantage point can match. You will depart from either the Atlantis The Palm or the Dubai Police Academy, ascending rapidly to reveal the sweeping coastline, the World Islands, and the futuristic skyline of Downtown Dubai.

Real experiences from real travelers
The view of the Palm from above is the only way to truly understand its scale. Our pilot was professional and pointed out every landmark. The 17-minute flight was perfect. Worth every penny!
I was nervous about flying but the Eurocopter was incredibly stable. The window seats offered amazing views of the Burj Khalifa. Highly recommended for photographers. Efficient check-in process.
We did the 12-minute Pearl Tour. The views were spectacular, especially the Atlantis. It felt a bit rushed though—I wish we had booked the longer 25-minute option to see the Creek. Still a must-do.
Booked this for my husband's birthday. The team at the Police Academy helipad was wonderful. The flight over the World Islands was surreal. A very premium experience.
Strict safety protocols which made us feel safe. We had to arrive 45 mins early for passport checks. The flight itself was magical. The noise-canceling headsets helped with the commentary.
Everything you need to know for your journey
Yes, it is a strict legal requirement in the UAE. Every passenger must present a valid original Passport or Emirates ID at check-in. Copies or photos of IDs are generally not accepted.
The strict weight limit is typically 110kg (242 lbs) per seat. If you exceed this, you may be required to purchase an additional seat for safety and balance purposes. Total weight limits for the aircraft also apply.
Women can fly up to the 32nd week of pregnancy. Between 28-32 weeks, a doctor's note may be required. For safety reasons, women over 32 weeks pregnant are generally not permitted to fly.
Helicopter schedules are extremely tight. If you arrive late, you will likely miss your slot and tickets are typically non-refundable. We strongly recommend arriving 45-60 minutes before your scheduled flight time.
Yes, children are allowed if they are 2 years or older. They must occupy their own seat and pay the full adult price. Children under 2 years are not permitted due to GCAA regulations.
The 'Golden Hour' (late afternoon/sunset) offers the most dramatic lighting for photos. However, morning flights (9 AM - 11 AM) often have the clearest skies with the least amount of haze/humidity.
Yes, phones and standard cameras are allowed. However, professional long-lens cameras (over 400mm) and selfie sticks are strictly prohibited inside the cabin for safety reasons.
Modern touring helicopters like the Airbus H130 are designed for stability and passenger comfort. Turbulence is rare in Dubai's stable weather, and the flight is generally very smooth, similar to a luxury car ride.
The 12-minute 'Iconic' tour focuses primarily on the Palm Jumeirah and Burj Al Arab. The 17-minute 'Palm' tour extends the route to include a flyby of the Burj Khalifa and the World Islands, offering a more complete view of the city's skyline.
