Highlighted reviews from other travelers
This was amazing from start to finish. I would highly recommend this and the organisers.
Mrs Pinal helped us alot the day before to get everything ready and Mr Abdullah our guide was very nice and helpful. The dune bashing was nice and relaxing and was not rough at all. The Hot Air balloon experience was really something out of this world and I would recommend them to anyone. It was truly a dream come true. My kids were 7&8 and everyone made them feel welcome the whole time. Thank you guys.

Full description
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.
After takeoff, you’ll float above the Arabian desert and enjoy the sunrise from 4000 feet above the ground, taking in breathtaking views of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve and native wildlife, including an in-flight falcon show.
Once you’ve landed, you'll be driven back to the Margham desert to freshen up and enjoy an Arabic Style buffet breakfast. Enjoy a short camel ride along the sands of the desert before getting dropped off back at your hotel, where your tour will end.
