Taking a helicopter tour of the city of Dubai is a privilege that few get to enjoy. There are a selection of thoughtfully designed aerial tours created to ensure an unforgettable experience for all travelers and tourists to Dubai.

From the internationally renowned Burj Khalifa and world-famous Burj Al Arab to the spectacular The World Island and The Palm Jumeirah, these aerial tours ensure a unique unobstructed view of Dubai in well-appointed helicopters.

Option 2:  Desert Experience

No trip to Dubai is complete without experiencing the desert. You are picked up from your hotel in 4x4 SUV vehicles and not long after you leave the city behind and enter the desert landscape.

After a 45-minute drive we enter the desert where you stop to see a camel farm before our guide takes you on a round of adrenaline packed dune drives. Falconry has been part of culture for years and today you learn more about this fascinating animal and understand how the Emiratis used falconry as a source of food. Enjoy a camel ride before driving back to the city.

We end at the Sheikh Mohammed Center of Cultural Understanding where you will meet a local Emirati for an introduction to the local culture and have an opportunity to ask your host questions about life in the UAE. We treat you to a spread of traditional Emirati cuisine before thanking your host and departing.
