Full description

Discover the Dubai desert from a unique aerial perspective on an early-morning hot air balloon ride. Float above the red sand dunes of the Margham Desert and savor a traditional Arabic breakfast.

Your hot air balloon adventure begins early in the morning, when you’ll be picked up from your hotel and taken to the Margham Desert for a refreshment and a briefing from the pilot. Next, you’ll be driven over the red sand dunes of the Dubai desert to your take-off location, where you’ll witness the inflation of the hot air balloon on the ground.

Grande esperienza, adrenalinica al punto giusto e viste mozzafiato. Organizzazione impeccabile, il capitano molto esperto e bravo nel spiegarci le dinamiche della mongolfiera e sulle norme di sicurezza a bordo. La mattina all'arrivo fa abbastanza freddo nel deserto, consiglio di portarsi un 100gr (mi esperienza inizio Feb) poi quando si sale a bordo la fiamma riscalda tutti, una volta spuntata l'alba ci pensa il sole e l'unica cosa da fare è godersi il panorama, il cielo pieno di mongolfiere e il falco nostro compagno di viaggio che vi gira attorno. Al rientro ci hanno portato in un accampamento per farci fare un breve giro su cammello e ricca colazione per poi rientrare in hotel. Bravi Saleem e Leo, molto disponibili. Soddisfatto.

It is really a beautiful experience to view the sunrise from this event. Good hospitality and a humorous captain adds to the charm. You get to a height higher than Burj Khalifa and you get about an hour and a half in the sky. After that a pleasant breakfast along with Camel and Horse ride.

The hot air balloon ride was fantastic! It was quite foggy as we were being picked up from our hotels, so we were anxiously waiting for the fog to burn off before we could launch. However, once we were airborne, it was absolutely breathtaking to watch the sun rise over the desert. I also loved that the falcon and its handler came along with us and we got to hold it not only on the ground but while were in the air as well. While the hot air balloon ride was of course the highlight of the morning, it was also a nice treat and a lot of fun to be able to ride a camel, horse and drive an ATV after breakfast.
