See Atlantis The Palm from the air, sitting on the crescent at the far end of Palm Jumeirah — the pink-arch resort that closes the island like a gateway to the Gulf.
The 17-minute Palm Tour is built for this coastline: Palm, crescent, and Atlantis in one pass, with Burj Al Arab and the World Islands in the same stretch of water. You see the hotel from the air rather than flying a tight circuit over the aquariums. Shorter 12-minute flights may only glimpse the crescent; stay on the 17-minute or longer if Atlantis is the point.
Morning light on the Gulf, or dusk when the crescent lights come on, makes the arch unmistakable.
Fly Over Dubai’s 17-, 22-, and 30-minute helicopter tours include Atlantis together with Palm Jumeirah and Burj Al Arab. Book the Palm Tour or longer.
