Helicopter tours in Dubai, UAE
Dubai's skyline, Palm Jumeirah, and coastline are built on a scale that's hard to appreciate from the ground. From the air, the city's man-made islands and towers finally make sense as a single design.
When's the best time to fly?
November to March brings comfortable temperatures well suited to daytime and sunset flights. June to August is extremely hot, and haze can reduce visibility, so an early-morning or evening slot is worth requesting if you're flying in summer.
What should I bring?
Light, breathable clothing and sunglasses.
What if the weather doesn't cooperate?
Like most operators, tours in Dubai have standard weight and balance limits (you may be asked your weight when booking or checking in), and pilots will delay or reschedule rather than fly in unsafe wind, low visibility, or storms. Booking a tour with free cancellation means a weather delay won't cost you anything.
