Helicopter Ride with Helidubai

We love helicopter rides and each time we head overseas, we will always try to find an opportunity to take a helicopter ride. We feel that a heli ride gives us a different perspective of the city, and it offers us a unique view of it. It can be quite amazing to see the city from a few thousand feet up in the air and soar among the birds. Not to mention, we love flying and this was just another excuse for us to board a helicopter!

Before we even touched down in Dubai, we already did some research on heli rides. We saw that helidubai had good reviews, and proceeded to book a tour with them. Their rides ranged from a 12-minute ride that covers the important attractions in Dubai up to a whopping 40-minute ride that is as comprehensive as it can be. We chose the 17-minute ride that covers just that much more than the 12-minute ride.

When in Dubai, one of the key things tourists look forward to is to see the desert. Funnily enough, it can be quite difficult to see nothing but sand when in Dubai. This is of course due to the incredible speed at which the city grew, and visitors will more likely see a metropolitan city when he touches down in Dubai.

Nowadays, there are dedicated tours available to bring tourists to the desert, and it includes various activities to entertain them. For us, this was definitely on our bucket list, and we did quite some research beforehand to select a good tour operator. We found Platinum Heritage and saw that it received lots of good reviews. The fact that many Hollywood celebrities also used the tour operator impressed us, since this surely spoke of its quality.

Dubai is an international city that connects millions of travellers between America, Europe, and Asia, each year. Naturally, there are plenty of food options for all types of visitors. Whether you prefer American cuisine, Middle Eastern cuisine, or some Asian cuisine, you will be satisfied with the various options. While the prices are indeed on the higher side, this has to be expected considering the cost of living in Dubai. However, the quality is also correspondingly high.

In all the restaurants we went to, we left feeling satisfied with the food served. We enjoyed some Middle Eastern fare, American fast food, American brunch, and even Vietnamese cuisine. We are happy to say we loved all of them. Check out our review below to see where you should have your meals when in Dubai!

With so much reserves and knowing they cannot rely on oil revenue forever, the government embarked on a massive project to bring in tourism dollars. What happened next was a huge boom, with tourists from all over the world flocking to this Middle Eastern city. Dubai also became home to the tallest building in the world, along with other accolades, such as the largest mall in the world.

Much has been said about Dubai and how luxurious the city can really be. Of course, we simply had to find out, by booking a night’s stay at the Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah’s Waldorf Astoria Suite with Sea View.
