The flight

What this tour is like

A full hour in the air, entirely your own. The Gulf Desert Tour is the most complete way to see the Emirate: the whole coastal skyline, the islands, Downtown, and then a long push inland over the dunes where the city falls away and there is nothing but rolling sand to the horizon. This is the flight for the once-in-a-lifetime trip — unhurried, private, and routed around exactly what you want to see.
