Pick up in a Luxury Range Rover
The excitement starts before sunrise – we promise that the early wakeup call will be worth it! Our driver will collect you in a stylish Range Rover to whisk you out to the balloon take-off site in the desert. The journey is only an approximately 45-minute drive from Dubai.
Take off in the Dessert
Arrive at the take-off site in the desert to be welcomed by your personal balloon Pilot. After a quick safety briefing, the Pilot will begin the exciting balloon inflation process. Before you know it, you will be climbing into the balloon basket and waving to the ground crew as your Hot Air Balloon gently starts to float and head up into the sky.
Private Hot Air Baloon
You will be floating on cloud 9 (quite literally) as the Hot Air Balloon glides over the Dubai desert at 4,000ft. Look out for wandering camels and Arabian oryx down below and take in the stunning views of the sunrise over the rolling sand dunes and the Hajar mountains. One of the best things about this private Hot Air Balloon is that the entire experience is your own. This means that you get clear 360-degree panoramic views from the basket and share the intimate experience with your partner. The only other person in the balloon basket will be the Pilot.
Sunrise over The Dubai Desert
It’s easy to see why sunrise is often associated with romance and new experiences when you witness a Hot Air Balloon sunrise. This entire experience is extremely picturesque and the golden hour glow around sunrise time creates perfect photo opportunities.
