This is our third trip to the UAE, and we fulfilled a long-held dream – we flew on a helicopter in Dubai!
We booked a helicopter tour online (from $205) – in 2023, the tours are 12, 17, 22, and 30 minutes long https://sputnik8.tp.st/6IBvlCYl (you can buy it with a Russian card here)

We flew here on a tour to the Double Tree By Hilton 4* hotel in the Al Barsha area. The tour cost 55,000 rubles for two for 7 nights. Last year, we flew at the same time for 33,000 rubles for 5 nights at a 3-star hotel in Sharjah.

Questions not answered in the video:

1) How many people are in the helicopter?
6 people
2) How are seats assigned?
The organizers themselves assign seats based on weight.
3) Is the rear view good?
Yes, the side windows are very large and extend behind the person sitting behind you.
You can ask in advance to sit on the side; sitting in the center is a bit worse :)
