“An Unforgettable Birthday Above Dubai – 10 February 2026 I had the incredible privilege of taking this helicopter tour on the most special day of the year for me – my birthday, February 10th, 2026. And I can honestly say it became one of the most memorable experiences of my life. From the very beginning, everything was handled professionally and warmly. I arrived early – 09:15 AM for a 10:00 AM flight – full of excitement but also a bit of anxiety. That winter “smog” specific to Dubai had settled over the city that morning, and there was real concern the flight might be cancelled. For a moment, it felt…”

“Ingesamt ist das Angebot kommerziell organisiert. Fotos und Videos vom Veranstalter sind extrem teuer. Das Einsteigen sowie das Aussteigen ist in den 30 min Flugzeit inkludiert, was eine effektive Flugzeit von knapp unter 20 Minuten bringt und den Preis so hausgemacht in die Höhe treibt. Die Route wurde leider um einen Fotostopp gekürzt, denn das Museum wurde nicht angeflogen. Alle anderen Fotostopps sieht man nur aus weiter Ferne, was aufgrund des ständigen Dunstes in Dubai keine klaren Bilder bringt. Der Transport zu unserem nächsten Reiseziel wurde uns auch vom Veranstalter angeboten und wäre doppelt so teuer gekommen wie das selbst organisierte Bolt Taxi.”
