No hotel pickup, and the exact flight time must be confirmed by phone after booking; children fly only with an adult. 4.67 from 742 reviews at €177 per person for 12m. In our comparison: #85 of 86 in City Tours & Sightseeing, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview Dubai has been seen by many, but not everyone has seen it from above. Ever wonder why The Palm is called The Palm? Or why the Burj Al Arab is labeled a 7-star hotel? Or maybe wonder how the world looks at The World Islands? Or imagine getting an up-close look at Burj Khalifa? These wonders are created for someone like you to enjoy and appreciate. The city is rich in both natural and man-made creations that adorn the skyline and this beauty can be seen only from above. There is only one way to do this, take a helicopter tour! You are sure to have the most memorable and exciting aerial tour ever. ## Before you book - 51 start times: between 09:30 and 16:30 - Food not included: Snacks/ Meals - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Strollers OK: infants accepted **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €177 per person for the Iconic Tour: 12 minutes option; other options up to €440 - Duration: 12m - Rating: 4.67/5 from 742 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: HeliDubai Helicopter Tours - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: English - Start times: 51 start times between 09:30 and 16:30 - Booking: Confirmation within 48 hours, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-21 ## Reviews 4.67 from 742 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 92% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 684 of 742. - 5 stars: 608 (82%) - 4 stars: 76 (10%) - 3 stars: 25 (3%) - 2 stars: 10 (1%) - 1 star: 23 (3%) ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Iconic Tour: 12 minutes | €177 / person | English | Tour Highlights: Burj Al Arab The Palm Jumeirah The Jumeirah Coastline Burj Khalifa Godolphin Business Bay Dubai Canal 12 minutes helciopter tour Duration: 12 minutes | | The Palm Tour: 17 minutes | €235 / person | English | Tour Highlights: Burj Al Arab The World Islands The Palm Jumeirah Atlantis hotel Burj Khalifa The Jumeirah Coastline Port Rashid UAE Biggest Flag 17 minutes helicopter tour Duration: 17 minutes | | The Vision Tour: 22 minutes | €323 / person | English | 22 minutes helicopter tour Duration: 22 minutes Helicopter Tour: 22 minutes: Tour Highlights: Burj Al Arab The World Islands The Palm Jumeirah Atlantis hotel Burj Khalifa The Dubai canal Dubai Creek The Wind Towers in Bur Dubai Dubai Creek Golf Course | | The Grand Tour - 30 minutes | €440 / person | English | 30 minute helicopter tour Duration: 30 minutes | ## What's included - Light refreshments - Live commentary on board ## Not included - Souvenir photos (available to purchase) - Hotel pickup and drop-off - Snacks/ Meals ## Itinerary 1. **Burj Al Arab** (pass by, no stop) - See Burj Al Arab iconic structure Experience a bird's eye-view of Burj Khalifa - the tallest building in the world 2. **Palm Jumeirah** (pass by, no stop) - See the Palm Jumeirah from the air 3. **Port Rashid** (pass by, no stop) 4. **Jumeirah Public Beach** (pass by, no stop) - The shoreline of the Jumeirah Beach 5. **Old Souk** (pass by, no stop) - Old Dubai at the Dubai Creek ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 51 start times between 09:30 and 16:30 - Schedule last checked: 2026-10-21 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
