What you'll see, minute by minute

The World Islands · Dubai Creek · the Marina

0 min Atlantis The Palm Up and away from Atlantis, the crescent and fronds of the Palm spread out beneath you.
~5 min The World Islands · Dubai Creek Out to sea over The World, the man-made islands laid out as a map of the continents, then to Dubai Creek — the inlet the city grew up around, with Deira on one bank and Bur Dubai on the other.
~15 min Jumeirah Beach · Dubai Marina Back down the coast past Jumeirah Beach and Burj Al Arab to the towers of Dubai Marina and JBR, closing the loop over the Palm.
25 min Landing · Atlantis The Palm Back on the helipad 25 minutes after lift-off.

Minutes are approximate. The pilot and air traffic control set the exact line on the day, and may adjust it for weather or safety.

City Circuit price

A shared seat is AED 1,450 per person. The whole helicopter is AED 6,353 for up to 6 guests, so a group often pays less each by going private. Both include 5 % VAT, with no booking fee.
