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.
