Dubai Balloon at Atlantis is a truly unforgettable experience that offers a unique way to see the city from above. Located at Atlantis, The Palm, this tethered balloon ride gives breathtaking 360-degree views of Dubai’s most iconic landmarks. As the balloon gently rises, you can clearly see the Palm Jumeirah, the Arabian Gulf, and on a clear day even the Burj Khalifa in the distance. The experience feels very safe and well organized. The staff are professional, friendly, and explain everything clearly before takeoff, which helps calm any nervousness. The ascent is smooth and slow, making it suitable for families, first-time visitors, and even those who are slightly afraid of heights. Unlike helicopter tours, the Dubai Balloon offers a peaceful and quiet ride, allowing you to truly enjoy the scenery and take amazing photos. Sunrise and sunset are the best times to go, as the views are especially stunning with soft lighting and beautiful colors over the city and sea. Although the ride is relatively short, the memories and photos make it worth it. Overall, Dubai Balloon at Atlantis is a must-try attraction for anyone visiting Dubai who wants a unique, scenic, and memorable experience.

Exactly what it promises - you go up, you go down, and you get a view 😄 The ride is very smooth and well organized, but don’t expect anything dramatic. It’s more of a gentle ascent and descent than an "adventure" The views are nice, though a bit limited - you can’t really see the entire Palm from up there, which was slightly disappointing. That said, it’s still a pleasant experience, especially if you’ve never done a tethered balloon ride before. Not a must-do, but still a good, relaxed activity if you’re already at Atlantis and want an easy, low-effort way to see Dubai from above
