Full description

Your balloon adventure starts out with an early morning pick-up at your hotel. Then, head out before sunrise to the desert to begin the adventure. You’ll float above the Arabian Desert for about an hour in the rising morning sun. In addition to seeing giant red sand dunes you’ll be on the lookout for camels, wild gazelles, vivid green oases, date farms, and the ever-changing shadows on the desert landscape. Keep an eye out for the mighty Arabian oryx in their natural habitat. Once you have landed, drive to a private desert conservation reserve and freshen up in the clean, private bathrooms. Get the opportunity to take a photo with a Peregrine falcon and enjoy a scrumptious breakfast of delicacies such as hand-cut smoked salmon, a fruit platter, and more. After the end of this magical ride you’ll be transferred back to the city and dropped off at your hotel.

Hot air ballon captain Donatas together with our driver/ guide Ben were absolute splendid. However, whoever is doing a planning, did a very poor job scheduling 11 people into a 10 people capacity car. I was thrown from a car to car back and forth and it really ruined my experience. I understand that everyone wants to make more money, but don’t ruin your product and customer experience with poor planning practices.

Amazing experience. Would highly recommend. Staff are amazing and very welcoming. Our captain of the balloon ride was informative but also added humour to the experience. Breakfast was beyond what we expected with camel rides and photos with the Falcon all included. Great company to book with. Would do this again

Brilliant experience, from being picked up at the hotel, the very professional advice and piloting of the balloon by pilot Mike from Bristol, England, to the awesome fight and sunrise which was spectacular. Don’t be afraid, you are put at ease and the landing was good. Loved going for breakfast in the open back 1950’s Land Rover, staff at the breakfast site were very friendly. Overall a great day and bucket list ticked. The day was exactly as described by get your guide, Thankyou.
