Full description

Have an action-packed day in Dubai, and go on a hot air balloon ride. Admire the sunrise, and see the desert at the crack of dawn. Jump in the back of the SUV car, sit back as your driver rides through the sand and enjoy this adrenaline-pumping activity that will wake up all your senses.

Enjoy a desert adventure that begins early in the morning when you’ll be picked up from your hotel and taken to Margham Desert for refreshments and briefing from the pilot. Next, you’ll be driven over the red dunes of the Dubai desert to your takeoff location, where you’ll witness the inflation of the hot air balloon on the ground. After takeoff, you’ll float above the Arabian desert and enjoy the sunrise from 4000 feet above the ground. Watch an in-flight falcon show and admire breathtaking views of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve and native wildlife. Once you’ve landed, you'll be driven back to Margham Desert to freshen up and have your photo taken with a falcon. Next up, you’ll have a safety talk before experiencing the thrill of quad biking over the desert dunes and enjoying a camel ride. On the safari, your guide will drive you in a 4x4 vehicle over towering dunes deep into the heart of the desert. Enjoy an authentic Arabic-style breakfast at your destination before being dropped off at your hotel.

The hot air balloon ride was the best tour thst we took. Breakfast was great, riding ATV was a blast. They did sell too many extras such as pictures with the falcons. The hot air balloon captain was really a great guy, very interesting and a lot of fun. The falcon trainer on the balloon ride was great and very friendly. And Very appreciative of the tips.

This tour is a great way to experience a little of everything. The hot air balloon ride is the best way to see the desert. It was amazing!! Additionally you get a brief falcon show (and you can hold and photo with the falcon!!) breakfast, dune driving adventure, camel ride, and ATV ride on the dunes.
