A helicopter of Dubai Police’ Air Wing has rescued Australian tourists lost in the desert.

Aviator Ahmed Hamad Obaid Al Shehhi said a car belonging to a tour operator was spotted in the desert by the helicopter crew during a reconnaissance mission.

The car was unable to move as it was stuck between a hill and a sand dune.
The helicopter went down to the car and rescued the tourists.

Al Shehhi urged the public to carry special devices to enquire about locations and coordinates while going into the desert.
