Helicopter flight from the Palm Island, Dubai

Palm Jumeirah is a man-made island shaped like a palm tree and one of Dubai's boldest engineering projects. This is where one of the most spectacular ways to see the city begins — from a bird's-eye view. Within minutes, the scenery transforms: glittering skyscrapers stand alongside golden desert sands and the turquoise expanse of the Persian Gulf. The panorama unfolds quickly and dramatically, leaving you with the feeling of flying over two different worlds at once. What to Expect Take-off from Palm Jumeirah: lift off from the helipad at Atlantis The Palm and begin your flight over one of the world's most recognisable islands. Burj Khalifa and Burj Al Arab: Dubai's iconic silhouettes from a bird's-eye perspective you simply can't get from the ground.
