HeliDubai – Scenic Helicopter Tours Dubai

Monica Tindall

What better way to explore the luxurious city of Dubai than with a helicopter tour?

Dubai, home to some of the world’s most incredible architecture, seems to hold steady to the goal of building the longest, fastest, tallest and biggest of everything. Holding numerous entries in the Guinness Book of World Records, there is always something amazing (not an exaggeration of an overused word) to marvel at. It’s impossible to appreciate these magnificent structures from the ground; a helicopter tour, however, provides exhilarating access to marvel at the feats of modern humanity from above.

HeliDubai is the city’s most reputable helicopter tour company. Being the choice of both local and international celebrities and dignitaries, we rest assured of their superb safety record and also get caught up in a bit of the glam associated with following in the path of the stars.

Helicopter Flight Path Over Dubai

With HeliDubai’s The Iconic Tour, we get a 12-minute overview of some of mankind’s most notable contemporary achievements. Our route gives us a bird’s-eye view of Burj Al Arab, The World Islands, The Palm Jumeirah, Burj Khalifa and Dubai’s Famous Beach Corniche. Connected by headphone to our pilot, who is a friendly Brazilian, we get an interactive guided tour of the city plan. Our captain’s depth of knowledge is impressive – he clearly enjoys his job and transfers that enthusiasm to his passengers.

Aircraft HeliDubai

Our “bird” is a French Eurocopter AS350 B3 Squirrel. A six-seater for one pilot and five passengers, seat allocation is based on balancing weight with one passenger up front with the pilot and four behind. This helicopter is famous for its high performance in just about any condition on earth; from working in extremely high altitudes including a record-breaking take-off from Mount Everest to taking on heavy loads, and importantly for Dubai’s hot summer, withstanding scorching temperatures. Its roundish sides and plentiful windows also make it a great tour helicopter as guests benefit from almost unobstructed views of the surrounds.

After the Flight

After the flight, the HeliDubai photographer captures the moments following the landing. A whole bunch of digital photos are taken and you have the opportunity to select a few for printing or purchase all of them. If you go with the I-want-them-all option they’re shared via a cute USB stick in the shape of a helicopter.
