About The Experience
The balloon ride at Atlantis Dubai is one of the most exciting ways to soak in the unparalleled splendor and vastness of the Palm Islands, which resembles a giant palm tree (with a crescent atop) and is also known as Palm Jumeirah. The balloon ride ascends 300 meters above the ground, providing you with the most panoramic views of the city. It is a great opportunity to click pictures of Dubai’s fantastic sights.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The Palm Jumeirah is one of Dubai’s signature engineering marvels. This world-famous man-made island is shaped like a palm with 17 fronds, a 10-mile-long crescent, and a one-mile-long trunk, all enriched by luxurious residential homes, hotels, restaurants, and shopping malls. The Dubai Balloon Ride at Atlantis offers the island’s most stunning and comprehensive views, as you soar 300 meters high during the experience.
The Dubai Balloon adventure begins at Poseidon’s Watchtower, within Atlantis Aquaventure, one of the world’s largest water parks. It is a tethered flight, which allows you to see the majestic Atlantis, The Palm, the Royal Atlantis, and other jaw-dropping sights across Palm Jumeirah from a thrilling yet highly safe perspective. Besides the magnificent views of the coastline and the aquamarine sea, you can catch glimpses of the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, the Burj Khalifa (the tallest building on the planet), and Ain Dubai (the world’s largest observation wheel) on a clear day.
The balloon ride is your best chance to snap pictures of the city’s gorgeous landscape. After the balloon flight that lasts 10 minutes, you can visit the retail store to purchase merchandise and souvenirs to remember your sky-high session. Depending on your ticket choice, head to the lounge area to unwind, absorb the region’s tranquility, and relish complimentary refreshments.
