Pearl — 12-minute helicopter tour over the Palm and Burj Al Arab

Burj Al Arab and the Jumeirah coastline seen from a helicopter

The shortest way to see Dubai's two great icons from the air. Lift off beside Atlantis, fly the length of the Palm and bank around the sail of Burj Al Arab, with Burj Khalifa on the horizon. Twelve minutes from lift-off to landing.

What you'll see, minute by minute

Palm Jumeirah · Burj Al Arab · the coastline

0 min Atlantis The Palm The pink arch of Atlantis The Palm and, beside it, the stacked towers of Atlantis The Royal drop away as you climb out over the Gulf.
~2 min Palm Jumeirah The whole palm shape appears at once: the crescent breakwater, the fronds lined with villas and private beaches, and the trunk running back to the mainland — the view the island was designed for.
~6 min Burj Al Arab The sail-shaped hotel on its own island off Jumeirah Beach, with its round rooftop helipad. On a clear day Burj Khalifa stands on the horizon inland. Then back along the coast to land.
12 min Landing · Atlantis The Palm Back on the helipad 12 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.

Pearl price

A shared seat is AED 715 per person. The whole helicopter is AED 3,145 for up to 6 guests, so a group often pays less each by going private. Both include 5 % VAT, with no booking fee.
