Written by

Hey guys, today I am really excited to post about one of the services I always wanted to review on my blog, During Arabian Travel Market I met Chiara Boccascino and Rami Aridi from Alpha Tours and they introduced me to their FLY HIGH Helicopter tour service. A helicopter tour was in my to do list so I was really excited when they kindly offered me a flight.

Atlantis the palm

Here is one of the great pix i took of Atlantis the palm


FLY HIGH Helicopter Flights take off from Atlantis the palm helipad. instead of traveling by car I decided to use public transport to give you guys a better idea about the location and the public transport to reach the location of the helipad Heli Dubai use.  I took a metro from World Trade center towards UAE Exchange and it took 25 minutes to reach DAMAC Properties station where I got on the  Dubai Tram towards Al Safouh and within 10 minutes I reached Palm Jumeirah I finally got the monorail to Atlantis the Palm Hotel.  From the hotel Alpha Tours has a free Shuttle service which takes you to the location of the helipad.
When I reached at the helipad I was greeted by the humble staff on the helipad site. First of all we were given safety instructions in a room, with visual presentation and staff explained how to use the safety equipment and gave us the safety instructions.   We were also provided with lockers to keep our valuables. As i was returning from Arabian Travel Market day 3 so i was pretty loaded with stuff, So i really appreciated the facility of having lockers where I could put my bags.
We were then escorted to the helicopter one by one, the professionalism and the safety measures by the Alpha Tours were really impressive. Luckily I got the seat in front and was about to enjoy the amazing views which I will remember all my life.
Take off was smooth and we had an amazing experience of flying above Palm Jumeirah , The World Islands,  seahorse island Dubai, and many other Islands around Dubai.

It was a great experience, witnessing the stunning views of Dubai form the sky and I realized that the best views you can get of Dubai are only the ones you can get from the Sky, Specially the I must mention The world islands and Palm Jumeirah. seeing Dubai Skyline was another great experience, flying by burj Khalifa and Burj Al Arab was something I never experienced. The Pilot was really helpful and provided information about all the key places and views we had in front of us.
