Hot shots!

We've seen aerial pictures of Dubai's landmarks and marvelled at them, but to actually be up in the air and see the Burj Al Arab's reflection shimmering in the green waters below is an experience you are unlikely to forget soon. Circling Burj Dubai, soaring over Palm Jumeirah, flying low over Shaikh Zayed Road, all the while taking in the views of the city from a totally different perspective is just amazing.

There are many air charter companies that conduct trips over Dubai as well as the other emirates. One is Sea Wings, a sister concern of Air Charter International. It operates 18 aerial tours daily. A 30-minute trip that includes flying over most major landmarks costs Dh895.

The company also operates customised packages. More information is available at www.seawings.ae
