Overview
Float silently over the golden Dubai desert as the sun comes up. A hot air balloon ride is one of the most peaceful and memorable ways to see the UAE, with wide views over the dunes, desert wildlife and the Hajar Mountains in the distance on a clear morning.
We pick you up from your Dubai hotel or apartment very early in the morning and drive to the take-off site in the desert. After a safety briefing you climb into the basket and watch the crew fill the balloon. The flight lasts about 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the wind. After landing you receive your flight certificate and are driven back to Dubai, usually by mid-morning.
Balloon flights run only from September to May and depend on the weather on the day. If the operator cancels a flight because of wind or weather, we offer you another date or a full refund.
