Has to be done – add it to your bucket list!
We took the helicopter sightseeing tour of Dubai, from what is touted to be the most famous helipad in the world. Remember Tiger Woods tee’ing off and Roger Federer vs Andre Agassi tennis match on top of this iconic hotel? Loved David Coulthard’s F1 ‘donuts’ – this helipad boasts plenty of historic events. And we were there!
But just what was the experience like?
Firstly, you have to get to the top floor of the Burj Al Arab – it’s a separate, special lift. We stood, in the safety of a foyer, at the top of this iconic hotel, thinking about all of the famous people that had landed here and it felt incredible that we were standing in that place, watching our helicopter come into land.
There were 6 – 8 hotel staff on standby, with firesafety equipment at the ready. Our ride was here!
Walking up to the helipad, you are really high up, and I am quite scared of heights, as we climbed up the almost vertical steps onto the pad to meet our pilot.
What is the experience?
We were somewhat lost for words. This was breathtaking. Especially the take off and landing! It topped our stay at the Burj Al Arab. Memories in the making. Just watch the video!
