We felt that the pick up from hotel could have been later as we ended up at a gas station waiting for time to pass to drive to the dessert location. When we got to the location we signed forms and waited some more. Overall experience of the balloon ride was great and I would recommend. Our pilot (Smiley) was great and clearly knows what he is doing and he landed the balloon softly and without any problems.

The tour was well organized and operated. The pickup from my hotel was on time and staff provided the group with trip details upon arrival to the launch site. We were given coffee, tea and bottled water while the balloon was being prepared. The captain provided us with clear safety instructions before we boarded the balloon. Nice experience overall.

Overall a fantastic expereince that I highly recommend to amyone visiting Dubai. The hotel pick up and drive to the desert was wonderful and made even better with the driver, Kundal, a real pro...who also took some pictures and videos for me of the hot air ballon taking off. And speaking of the take off, the pilot was a real pro and eveyone felt safe throughout the trip.
