Itinerary

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. Watch an in-flight falconry display and enjoy a camel ride. 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.

Very well organized and executed activity. Majestic overwhelming feelings of flying at sunrise over the desert. It’s hard to find strong enough adjectives to describe the the beauty of it. Falcon was (Read More)certainly a great addition to overall experience. I learned a lot about these regal birds. Ivan, the falcon, spent a lot of time sitting on my hand posing for pictures. The most mind blowing experience is 5* breakfast in the middle of the desert. Even carpet was laid before the buffet table. Diffused water! Lox and more delicious dishes were offered! Feeding and riding regal Arabian stallion and camel was great fun and an enriching experience. I certainly recommend this activity to anyone.
