The Dubai Balloon at Atlantis

DubaiLandmarksAbout 10 minutes of flight

The Dubai Balloon at Atlantis is a landmark attraction listed under Dubai activities at RAAHHI TOURS. The Dubai Balloon is a tethered passenger balloon that launches from Poseidon's Watchtower, within the Atlantis Aquaventure water park on Palm Jumeirah. It climbs to around 300 metres, comparable to a 100-storey tower, for a flight of about 10 minutes, and because it stays tethered the ride remains steady. From the basket you look down on the fronds and outer crescent of Palm Jumeirah, with the Royal Atlantis and Atlantis The Palm beneath you. In clear weather the view reaches along the coast to Ain Dubai, Burj Al Arab and Burj Khalifa. Listed duration or timing: About 10 minutes of flight.
