Burj Khalifa by Helicopter
Burj Khalifa has been the tallest building in the world since it opened in 2010, standing just over 828 meters above downtown Dubai. Its tapering, Y-shaped floor plan was designed to reduce wind load as the tower rises, which is part of why it narrows so distinctly toward the spire.
Seeing it by helicopter
A flight that crosses downtown Dubai shows Burj Khalifa's full height and tapering shape against the rest of the skyline at once -- a perspective the building's own observation decks can't give you, since from inside the tower you're looking out from it rather than at it.

Good to know
- •Tours typically fly past or around the tower rather than especially close to it, since it's one of the tallest structures in the world and airspace around it is managed accordingly.
- •If you've already been up the Burj Khalifa's own observation deck, a helicopter flight is the complementary view -- seeing the building itself rather than the view from inside it.
- •The tower is usually visible for a long stretch of any downtown-area flight, not just a brief pass, since it's tall enough to stay in view from a wide radius.
Is seeing Burj Khalifa from a helicopter different from going up the tower itself?
Yes -- the tower's own observation decks show you the view out over the city from inside the building, while a helicopter flight shows you the building itself, including its full height and tapering shape against the Dubai skyline.
