Dubai Helicopter Tour From Dubai Police Academy (12/17/22/30 Minutes)

Your experience

Arrival and shuttle to Dubai Police Academy helipad

Head to the Dubai Police Academy entrance on Sheikh Zayed Road in Al Sufouh. Tell your taxi driver "Dubai Police Academy helipad." At the gate, staff check your ID and direct you to a shuttle bus. The bus takes you inside the compound to the helipad lounge, about a 5-minute ride.

What to expect

Take off towards the coast

After a safety briefing and seat assignment based on weight, board the helicopter. The pilot lifts off and heads towards Palm Jumeirah and the Dubai coastline. Within minutes you'll see the palm shape, Atlantis, and Burj Al Arab.

Features

• See Palm Jumeirah's fronds and crescent from above as the helicopter circles the island.

• Fly past Burj Al Arab's sail-shaped structure on its own island, 280 meters offshore.

• On 17-minute flights, continue over JBR beach and Dubai Marina's cluster of high-rises.

• On 22-minute routes, pass World Islands, Dubai Frame, and get closer views of Burj Khalifa and Sheikh Zayed Road.

• Listen to live commentary explaining how Dubai transformed from a trading port to a global city.

Landing and return from Dubai Police Academy

Land back at the helipad. Take the shuttle bus back to the academy gate, where taxis and ride-hailing services are available.
