The story
HeliDubai flies sightseeing tours over the city from its base inside the Dubai Police Academy in Al Sufouh, opposite the Mall of the Emirates, and a helicopter carries at most five passengers. The operator sells the flights privately, one price for your group of up to five, in five lengths that match HeliDubai's own tours: 12 minutes over the landmarks and the Jumeirah coastline; 17 minutes over the Palm Jumeirah and the coast; 22 minutes over the coastline, Downtown and old Dubai; 30 minutes over the Marina, Downtown, the Creek and the Dubai Frame; and 40 minutes that extend over the city to Jebel Ali. Depending on the route, HeliDubai lists the Palm, Atlantis The Palm, the Burj Al Arab, the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Marina, the World Islands, Bluewaters and Ain Dubai among the sights.
What it feels like: a short briefing, a walk out to the helicopter, headsets on, and then the ground falls away faster than any lift. Soon the Palm is laid out below you like the map you have seen a hundred times, and the sea along Jumeirah turns from green to deep blue. On the longer flights you turn inland over the towers of Downtown, with the Burj Khalifa standing above them all. It is loud, it is quick, and the photographs from the window are the ones people keep on their phones for years.
Who this suits: a family or friends group of up to five who want to share the cost of one flight between them, since the price is for the helicopter, not per head; honeymooners and the couple's anniversary escape who want Dubai from above to themselves; and the luxury traveller marking an occasion. HeliDubai takes children from two years old. The 12- and 17-minute flights are the shorter introduction; the 30- and 40-minute flights cover more of the city.
