More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You lift off from the Atlantis helipad and the city rearranges itself beneath you: the crescent of Palm Jumeirah folds like a ribbon into the Persian Gulf, while the Burj Khalifa spikes through the low urban fabric toward the heat-hazed horizon. Wind pushes against the rotor wash and the pilot banks for a panoramic sweep — the sea dares you to look away.
