I've landed a couple of times on the Burj Al Arab helipad. Best get yourself into wind on final and be prepared for some turbulance if the wind is from the northwest, which puts you on the lee side of the "sail". The landing fees are Dhs 4K which is US$ 1086.95 per time. Not that that's a big deal, the customer pays any way. Departing is interesting, coming off the pad puts you at approximately 700' asl.
