Your Experience Awaits

Welcome to your thrilling journey starting with a convenient shuttle from Dubai Police Academy's entrance on Sheikh Zayed Road in Al Sufouh. Direct the taxi driver by saying "Dubai Police Academy helipad." Upon arrival, security personnel will verify your ID and guide you towards a waiting shuttle bus that transports you inside the compound to the cozy helipad lounge within 5 minutes.

What You Can Anticipate

The adventure begins with an exciting takeoff as you head toward the coast. Prior to boarding, enjoy a detailed safety briefing and receive your seat assignment based on weight distribution. Once inside HeliDubai's helicopter, experience stunning views of Palm Jumeirah’s iconic shape, the luxurious Atlantis resort, and Dubai's famous Burj Al Arab.

  • Fly over the iconic sail of Burj Al Arab, which stands majestically on a separate island located 280 meters offshore.
  • During your 17-minute flight path, soar above JBR beach and marvel at Dubai Marina's impressive skyline filled with skyscrapers.

  • Enjoy live commentary providing insights into how Dubai evolved from a modest trading port to an international metropolis.

Landing Back at the Start

Your journey concludes with a smooth landing back on the helipad. Board the shuttle bus once more, which will return you to the academy's entrance where taxis and ride-hailing services await your next destination in Dubai.
