Nice helicopter excursion, but on rather expensive side. Siting on the second row means you won't see anything. Keep it mind arranging your tour!

Unforgettable, my first time in an helicopter, thanks to headout even if i was quite afraid. I will never forget this day

This helicopter tour takes off from the Atlantis Resort, giving you epic views from the get-go starting with the famous Palm Jumeirah island and the luxurious Burj Al Arab hotel as the very first highlights. The tour's not just about fancy views though. You'll get to fly over the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, and even one of Dubai's oldest areas, the Dubai Creek. It's basically a 360-degree photo op up in the sky! Plus, the in-flight narration will fill you up on all the interesting info about landmarks you're zooming over. The Eurocopter AS 350 (a popular choice for sightseeing tours) has huge windows so everyone gets a good look, and the pilots are total pros with years of experience.
