For the first time in the UAE, Mutihada Simulators invites residents, tourists and aviation enthusiasts alike to step into the shoes of a jumbo jet pilot and take the controls of a life-size Boeing 747-400 cockpit. Mutahida Simulators and Al Forsan International Sports Resort have partnered to introduce this cutting-edge flight simulator to the nation’s capital – offering all ages the ultimate virtual experience of the ‘Queen of the Sky’.
The Mutahida Simulators 747-400 Flight Simulator comprises a unique, customized simulator carefully designed according to actual 747-400 cockpit specifications. Participants have the ability to set their own flight paths between any two airports with over 200 destinations to choose from – with the entire process monitored and managed via 10 state-of-the-art computers. Guests can also choose the length of flights to either refine flying skills in the air or practice take-offs and landings, or even do all in one session.
