Overview

Enjoy a premium shared 30-minute helicopter sightseeing tour in Abu Dhabi, combining coastline, skyline and landmark views in one extended route. Departing from Mina Zayed, you rise over the Arabian Gulf and cross the Corniche, where towers, promenades and sea create a classic city panorama.

Following the waterfront, you pass the city’s most prominent district, spotting Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi, Marina Mall, the Giant Flagpole and the Presidential Palace, framed by blue water below.
