Helicopter over Abu Dhabi
Duration
17–30 min
Schedule
Daily, on request
Meeting point
Abu Dhabi Cruise Terminal, Mina Zayed
Falcon Heli Tours is the only operator running scheduled helicopter sightseeing tours over Abu Dhabi. Flights depart from the Mina Zayed terminal in the heart of the waterfront: within seconds of takeoff, the Corniche and the islands of the Arabian Gulf come into view.
Two routes to choose from:
- 17 minutes: a concise overview of the key landmarks;
- 30 minutes: an extended route with Louvre Abu Dhabi, the mangroves and Saadiyat Island.
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is particularly striking from above, where the geometry of its domes and minarets can only be seen from the air.
The helicopters carry groups of up to six passengers.
