About This Activity

Your Gulf Desert Heli-Tour starts from a high-end helipad, where you’ll receive a safety briefing before boarding the helicopter. Once you take off, Dubai’s skyline greets you with all its architectural wonders. You will first fly over the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, followed by a stunning view of the Burj Al Arab, Dubai Marina, and Palm Jumeirah. The perspective from above is unlike anything you’ve seen before. But the real adventure begins as the helicopter leaves the city behind and heads into the vast Arabian Desert. The scenery shifts from skyscrapers to rolling dunes that stretch as far as the eye can see. The golden sands, occasional camel caravans, and remote desert camps make for an incredible sight. As you fly over the desert, your pilot will provide insights into the region’s history and culture, pointing out unique landmarks along the way. The contrast between the futuristic city and the timeless desert landscape is truly mesmerizing. After giving you incredible views, the helicopter makes its way back to the city, giving you one last breathtaking look at Dubai’s skyline before landing. This tour is an unforgettable way to experience Dubai’s two sides, the modern and the natural, all in one flight.
