Dubai is an extreme city. Home to the world’s tallest building, artificial islands shaped like palms, and a skyline that glitters day and night—there’s no better way to witness it all than from high above the ground, and that’s exactly what the Dubai Balloon ride at Atlantis offers: an aerial adventure that’s peaceful, thrilling, and unforgettable. Whether you’re curious about the Dubai Balloon at Atlantis price, planning a family outing, or searching for the most romantic activity in Dubai, this attraction is a must-add to your itinerary.

It does not matter whether you are a first-time visitor to Dubai, a couple seeking a romantic activity or a family interested in the most unique attractions in Dubai; this tethered helium balloon ride is a must on your Dubai itinerary.

What is The Dubai Balloon?

Dubai Balloon is a unique and peculiar tethered balloon ride situated at Atlantis, The Palm, which is one of the most famous destinations in the city. This experience is unlike the traditional hot-air ballooning activities because it involves the use of a balloon that is filled with helium and is safely and comfortably tied to the ground at a height of up to 300 feet in the air.

The ride provides a 360 panoramic view of the skyline of Dubai, which runs all the way to the golden desert and the glistening Arabian Gulf. The balloon is tethered, hence providing a stable and smooth ride, which is ideal even for first-time flyers and people with a fear of heights.

Soar Above Dubai’s World-Famous Landmarks

From the moment you lift off, you’re treated to aerial views of Dubai’s architectural wonders. Some of the landmarks visible from the balloon include:

  • Burj Khalifa – The tallest building on Earth
  • Palm Jumeirah – The palm-shaped island built from the sea
  • Burj Al Arab – The luxurious sail-shaped hotel
  • Arabian Desert – Vast, golden dunes that remind you of Dubai’s heritage
  • Atlantis, The Palm – The majestic resort right beneath your feet

From this height, you get a unique angle on the city—far removed from the hustle and bustle, surrounded only by the quiet whoosh of the wind and the endless Dubai horizon.


Sunrise and Sunset Balloon Rides

One of the most exciting aspects of the Dubai Balloon experience is your ability to choose your flight timing:

Sunrise Rides

Begin your day with a spectacle of colour and calm. The city starts to shine in golden colours as the balloon ascends into the gentle morning sun. This is the right moment to take photos and have some silence.

Sunset Rides

Prefer something more dramatic? The sunset flights are an explosion of orange, purple, and pink. The city’s lights begin to twinkle below as the sun sets over the Arabian Gulf—a romantic and unforgettable experience.

📸 Pro Tip: These are the best slots for stunning photos and videos.

💬 What Guests Are Saying

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Prerana k (Visited in September 2025 from India). I was slightly scared of heights and as we reached Atlantis the Palm to take a helium balloon ride, the staff was there to make us feel very comfortable. The balloon ride was so smooth and the 360 degree views of the Dubai skyline were better than what we ever imagined. We were able to see the Burj Khalifa, Palm Jumeirah and even the great Arabian Desert. It was calm, silent, and it was quite safe a place to get an aerial view of Dubai in a fearless way.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️– Khadeeja M, UAE.

This is the place to go to in Dubai, if you want to find a family-friendly activity. When we were staying at Atlantis The Palm we went on the Dubai tethered balloon ride, and it was amazing. The balloon rose up at a slow pace and the children enjoyed seeing the known Dubai landmarks through the air. It was safe and smooth and well organized. We felt absolutely comfortable because the professional team explained all the things. We took incredible family pictures floating above the famous skyline of Dubai, what a special memory to bring home!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Irel, UK.

I had a surprise sunset balloon ride over Atlantis, and it was an unbelievably romantic anniversary gift my wife made by booking it. We will never forget looking out at the sunset over the Arabian Gulf at 300 feet up in the air. The Dubai Balloon ride provided us with breathtaking all-around views of the beautiful Dubai such as the Burj Al Arab and The Palm. Even the crew provided us with a free drink in the luxury package of the balloon. It is the most romantic act we have done in Dubai yet!
