Full description

The City Circuit is a 25-minute helicopter flight that covers far more of Dubai than the shorter rides. From Atlantis, The Palm it crosses the Arabian Gulf and The World Islands before heading to the skyline.

You then pass the Burj Khalifa, Sheikh Zayed Road and Dubai Creek, where the heritage architecture contrasts with the glass towers. On the return, the route passes Port Rashid and the Jumeirah Beach coast before showing Dubai Internet City, Jebel Ali Race Course, Jumeirah Lakes Towers and Dubai Marina.

Seats are booked per person with a maximum of five on board. Children must be at least five, and infants and pets are not allowed.

Choose it if you want to see both old and new Dubai in one flight. Hotel pickup can be added on request, and the route may change for air traffic or weather.

Book with the form on this page or on WhatsApp, and our team will confirm your pickup details afterwards. Our cancellation schedule applies to any changes, and anything not shown in the inclusions is an extra.

Helicopter seats are sold per person on flights of up to five passengers, and the exact route can change for air traffic, weather or safety reasons. Ask our team on WhatsApp when booking and we will confirm weight, baggage and check-in requirements for your flight. Cameras and phones for personal photos are normally fine, but check any equipment limits with us first.
