The story

This is a seat on a shared sightseeing flight over Dubai, not the whole helicopter. The operator sells four flights by name and length: Iconic (12 minutes), Palm (17), Vision (22) and Grand (30). Those names and lengths match HeliDubai's own tours, which fly from a helipad inside the Dubai Police Academy at Al Sufouh, opposite Mall of the Emirates; the operator's voucher names the operator and the helipad for your flight. By HeliDubai's description, the Iconic flight covers the main landmarks and the Jumeirah coastline, the Palm flight the Palm Jumeirah and the coast, the Vision flight the coastline, Downtown and old Dubai, and the Grand flight the Marina, Downtown, the Creek and the Dubai Frame. Each flight can be booked meeting at the helipad, or with a private transfer from your hotel, which the operator gives as three hours door to door.

What it feels like: check-in takes longer than the flight itself. Then the doors close, the rotors wind up and the ground drops away faster than you expect. Within a minute the Palm is laid out below you like the maps you have seen of it, the sea is a colour you do not see from the beach, and the towers of the Marina and Downtown look close enough to touch. Twelve minutes goes very quickly; the longer flights give you time to stop taking photographs and simply look.

Who this suits: couples, honeymooners and anniversary couples who want one big moment in the trip; the luxury traveller; and the multigenerational family, since it is a seated flight that grandparents can manage, children can fly from two years old by HeliDubai's rules, and the whole family sees the city in one go. It is a short flight at a high price, so the budget traveller does better at an observation deck.

What happens

The plan as the operator runs it. Start times and pickup are confirmed for your date.

  1. On the private-transfer options a vehicle collects you from your Dubai hotel; the operator gives three hours door to door. On the other options you make your own way to the helipad on the operator's voucher. HeliDubai's helipad is inside the Dubai Police Academy at Al Sufouh, opposite Mall of the Emirates.

  2. HeliDubai asks guests to check in 45 minutes before the flight. Your captain tells you what ID to carry, from the operator's voucher.

  3. 12, 17, 22 or 30 minutes over the city, on the route of the flight you booked, in a helicopter shared with other guests.

  4. On the private-transfer options the vehicle takes you back to your hotel.
