Dubai Balloon will ensure an elevated experience that offers a captivating bird's-eye view of landmarks

Dubai has a cutting-edge signature attraction that visitors and locals can now enjoy in a distinctive manner. Dubai is constantly pushing the boundaries of topical and technological innovation.

The Dubai Balloon is an elevated experience that offers a captivating bird's-eye view of Atlantis. It is a must-see sight for everyone. On one side is The Palm, and on the other is Atlantis The Royal.

Passengers can enjoy special occasions like the marriage proposal, a special birthday, memorable company outings, or a straightforward weekend getaway in a unique setting with magical aerial views of the city.

As soon as they arrive, visitors receive a boarding ticket and a quick safety lecture before boarding the balloon's basket.

The helium-inflated balloon, which is anchored to the shoreline of the Atlantis Aquaventure, then ascends to a height of up to 300 metres on a good day, which is roughly the height of a 100-story building, as passengers anticipate seeing life from a distinctive vantage point.

Recently, a group of journalists took a special flight to experience the thrill of a brand-new adventure that offered amazing photo opportunities of record-breaking landmarks and the chance to make lifelong memories.

Aquaventure, the largest waterpark in the world, The World Islands, the magnificent Palm Jumeirah shoreline, The Pointe's largest fountain show, the majestic Burj Al Arab, Ain Dubai, and on clear days, even the Downtown skyline can all be seen while experiencing Dubai in a whole new way.

One of the most recognisable places in Dubai and the entire globe is the Palm Islands. Previously, there were only two expensive choices to see this: skydiving or a helicopter ride. Everyone has the chance to experience the breath-taking sight of the Palm. Depending on the time of year, the flights per hour can be made. Naturally, there will be fewer flights during the summer, though the attraction is available all year depending on the weather. However, 72 flights can be completed —each lasting 10 minutes—in a single day, according to Adam McEwan, group CEO of Hero Experiences Group.

The attraction's normal admission costs are Dh175 for adults and Dh75 for kids. Children below three years go free. The cost of a fast ticket that integrates with the Aquaventure-like system is Dh275. Additionally, this ticket grants entry to the lounge upstairs, where coffee and Dubai's best view are served. Beginning on March 31, online reservations are accepted.

The balloon even has a flight number, A6-PLM, and that Dubai Civil Aviation regulates its operators. In addition, the authorities have provided a designated air space for the same.

McEwan continued regarding the distinction between the well-known hot air balloon and the brand-new Dubai balloon. The hot air balloon is a ride first thing in the morning. The airship must have air inside that is hotter than the air outside because it is rising. Only in the morning, when the air is cooler, does that occur. Helium gas, which is non-flammable, is inside this inflatable. So, this resembles a celebration balloon exactly. Actually, it is being discharged and not flown to get this thing up. There are 500 wires running through, entwined with one another. The ascent and descent are managed here. So, it’s a controlled flight. It is carbon-free and eco-friendly.

When visitors descend, a lovely lounge and terrace with breathtaking views of the immaculate Atlantis Aquaventure beach are the ideal places for them to cap off their experience and unwind while enjoying some delectable coffee and tea.

In addition to souvenirs, the Dubai Balloon retail shop sells high-quality photographic memories. The base fare for the journey is Dh175. Prices for opportunities for professional photography differ depending on the package. According to KS Ramakrishnan, managing director and CEO of Digiphoto Entertainment Imaging, drone footage is also in the works. (DEI).

If using a cab to get to the location, customers must request to be dropped off at The Avenues. Parking is available at the Aquaventure parking lot if they are travelling by their own automobile. They can get to The Avenues at Atlantis using the free transport. They must halt at Atlantis if they travel there on one of the Hop on Hop off bus tours. They will have to get off at the Atlantis station if they choose to ride the Monorail.
