The Dubai Balloon

Get unbeatable panoramas of Dubai's coastal sights and glittering skyline from The Dubai Balloon, a tethered helium balloon which takes guests to heights of up to 300 metres. Located at Aquaventure Waterpark, on Palm Jumeirah's outer crescent, The Dubai Balloon is the only experience of its kind in the city.

During your 10-minute trip into the sky, you’ll get the best possible view of the Palm, and be able to see the full extent of this man-made marvel. On a clear day, you can even see as far as the Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai.
