The Best Helicopter Tours in Dubai

Ranked, reviewed and price-checked — 12 Dubai helicopter tours compared, starting from $238.

Why fly over Dubai?

Dubai was made to be seen from the sky. A helicopter tour delivers a perspective on the Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab, Palm Jumeirah, The World Islands and Dubai Marina that simply cannot be matched from the ground. Most flights depart from Atlantis Helipad on the Palm and trace a route over the Arabian Gulf, the Dubai Frame, Downtown and the rapidly expanding Dubai Creek Harbour. Because the city was master-planned with aerial geometry in mind, the views are uniquely photogenic — particularly at golden hour, when the desert turns copper and the skyline glass catches the last light. Whether it's a 12-minute taster or a 40-minute grand tour, Dubai offers one of the most cinematic short flights in the world.
