Helicopter tour over Dubai: prices and durations, no marketing
12, 17 or 25 minutes aren't details: they're the difference between «nice» and «unforgettable». Here's what you see in each duration and what you really pay per person — guaranteed window seat, GCAA-certified operators, price closed in the quote.
The three durations, honestly explained
12 minutes (AED 850–890, ~€215–225): Palm and Atlantis — the "photo flight", perfect if short on time. 15–17 minutes (AED 1,100–1,250): adds Burj Khalifa and Downtown — the best compromise. 22–25 minutes (AED 1,750–1,850): all of the above plus coast, Burj Al Arab and World Islands — the full flight. Departure from Atlantis/Festival City helipad depending on operator.
Real things to know
Max 5–6 seats per flight, assigned by weight (they'll ask your weight at booking — normal, it's for balance). Our tours guarantee a window seat. Kids from 2 years, typical weight limit 110–120 kg/seat. Flies year-round; morning has better light and less haze.
