See Dubai by Air
There are not many
places like Dubai.
It’s ambition to be one of
a kind has certainly been
realised with some of the
most grandiose architecture
to be found anywhere.
Whether it is record reaching
skyscrapers or audacious
palm shaped islands, this
is an area can be truly
appreciated from the air.
So why not take advantage
of the many companies
offering you some of the
most memorable flying tours
of Dubai?
As soar in the sky, take in the magnificent Burj Khalifa, the sail-shaped Burj Al-Arab
Hotel and impressive Palm Jumeirah as you fly above the city. See boats docking at
Port Rashid and traditional Abras crossing Dubai Creek as you cruise at 1500 ft in the
sky. Your flight will take you over Dubai’s golden coastline and futuristic cityscape before
gliding back down to where you began on historic Dubai Creek.
Other highlights will
include the famous Sheikh
Zayed Grand Mosque.
This stunning architectural
wonder is the largest
mosque in the UAE and
can hold up to an incredible
40,000 worshipers at once.
It features 82 domes,
more than 1,000 columns,
golden chandeliers, and
the world’s largest hand
knotted carpet. Admire the
incredible reflective pools
that surround the mosque,
amplifying its beauty. Al
Bateen, Abu Dhabi’s oldest
neighbourhood is yet
another architectural marvel
– the Emirates Palace Hotel.
This palatial hotel is a fine
example of traditional Arabic
architecture and features
more than 100 impressive
domes, ornate hotel rooms,
and luxury suites decorated
in gold and marble. Seeing

the most ways to appreciate
this magnificent region.
