Our Unforgettable Gyrocopter Dubai Flight: Soaring Through the Skies

Recently, we had a chance to experience a Gyrocopter Dubai flight with Skyhub Dubai, it is one of the most thrilling activities to do in Dubai.

In this post, we are going to share our experience about the Gyrocopter Dubai, gyro flight packages & pricing, iconic landmarks you get to see, and location.

A little bit about what a Gyrocopter is

A gyrocopter is quite an unusual kind of aircraft, especially to look at. They look similar to helicopters but by the construction and the way of flying they are more similar to airplanes. 

They are very small aircraft that usually carry two people (Pilot & Passenger). 

The gyrocopter flown by Skyhub Dubai is one that has no roof ‘Naked’, gives a much better view of the landscape but comes with the safety ruling of no equipment allowed on board by the passenger.

Our Experience of Gyrocopters Dubai Flight

The #p2visitdxb team was invited to this incredible experience of flying over Dubai in one of Skyhub Dubai’s open-top gyrocopters. 

We arrived at the Skydive Dubai Palm Drop Zone about thirty minutes before our scheduled flights, as this is where the SkyHub Gyrocopter office is also located.

We had to complete the safety documentation at the reception, this was after having to complete a separate one via email 24 hours before.

Safety is paramount at Skyhub Dubai and you feel safe throughout, which is amazing on their part.  

With our early arrival, the staff were extremely accommodating in welcoming us and prepped us for the ultimate experience.

As soon as we had completed the documents, we then got a buggy to where our Gyrocopter flight would be taking off from.

Meet Gyrocopter Pilot, Captain Frank

We met the pilot, Captain Frank, who briefed us on what to do in case of an emergency. Anya was flying before me (Patrick), so I had to watch her take off and return to the reception, whilst she was flying.

Frank was extremely reassuring throughout and gave us some little tips to make use of throughout our flight.

The thrilling part was the takeoff but as soon as we were in the air, it was quite an exhilarating experience and we both didn’t know which part of the skyline to marvel at first.

We flew over such landmarks in our Gyrocopter Dubai flight:

• Palm Jumeirah
• Burj Al Arab
• Jumeriah Beach
• Dubai Marina
• Sheikh Zayed Road
• Mall of the Emirates
• Kite Beach

The flight route take-off was from the Skydive Palm Drop Zone.

Once we got into the sky, we started to head up towards Atlantis. Once reaching there and being able to look down the stalk of the Palm, we flew to the Burj Al Arab Hotel.

After reaching the Burj Al Arab, we did a few doughnuts in the gyrocopter flight which was great fun and then head along Sheikh Zayed Road back to the Marina. 

It was a long 20-minute ride, which was the perfect package. There is an option to have a longer flight but you only fly over the World Islands, which most are empty anyway.

We got to enjoy the sights of the city and the weather was perfect, November was a great month to do it in.
