Dubai continues to captivate with its innovative experiences. As the weather cools, terraces are once again welcoming guests. Enhancing this terrace experience, Jumeirah Al Qasr introduces a unique dining adventure this November with Balloons at the Palace—a distinctive pop-up concept that redefines afternoon tea and dinner in Dubai.

Located on the fifth floor of the iconic hotel, this enchanting setting allows diners to enjoy their meals in hot air balloon-inspired pods, offering stunning panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf, Burj Al Arab, and the vibrant Dubai skyline. Note that these balloons are stationary on the terrace; you won't be airborne, although Dubai does offer that elsewhere. This imaginative dining experience presents two exclusive options: a sophisticated Afternoon Tea in the Sky and a globally inspired five-course dinner. Both options blend exquisite culinary artistry with a sense of wonder, creating an unforgettable adventure for each guest.

For dinner, guests are invited to embark on a global culinary journey through a meticulously curated five-course menu, available from Wednesday to Sunday at 7pm for Dh395 per person (limited seating). The menu includes:

France: Begin with Chef Kim’s Bar au Citron, a delicate Seabass Carpaccio enhanced with a vibrant lemon dressing.

Italy: Next, savor Chef Beatrice’s Ravioli del Plin, each pasta parcel tenderly nestled in a cognac-infused jus.

Thailand: Chef Amara’s Lon Goong, featuring tiger prawns in a creamy coconut and tamarind sauce, brings the exotic flavors of Thai spice markets to life.

The Levant: Chef Elias presents Seabass Harrah, infused with aromatic zaatar, offering a warm, rich taste of the Middle East.

Canada: For the main course, Chef Eric’s Beef Tenderloin with Maple Glaze brings a taste of Canada’s finest flavors.

The journey concludes with a sweet homage to Dubai: Chef Dimitri’s Signature Madeleine.

For those seeking a lighter experience, Afternoon Tea in the Sky offers a quintessential British-inspired tea service that transports guests to the heart of London with sweeping views and a serene ambiance. With two seating options available from Wednesday through Sunday (1-3pm and 3.30-5.30pm), guests can choose from three packages, starting from Dh250 per person.
