Flying over Dubai is a bucket list experience few will ever forget. So get your head in the clouds with a thrilling helicopter ride over this glittering mecca and be amazed at its grandeur, beauty and opulence. From the ship, it's a short drive to the helicopter base. Step aboard and take a comfortable seat and have your camera ready, the large windows provide never-ending views. From this sky-high perspective you'll have unique views of the Burj Al Arab Hotel and its 1,053-foot sail-shaped design that gives the illusion of a giant ship ready to cruise off into the sunset. A landmark you can't miss is the 2,717-foot-tall Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building. More see-worthy sights include the Palm Jumeirah, the world's largest artificial island that can be seen from space; the Dubai Marina; and the 300 World Islands, designed to resemble a world map.
