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 a 4-hour 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.
