Hot Air Balloon Flight Experience in Dubai

An amazing experience with memories that will last a lifetime! Well organised with plenty of communications from the company before the trip. Good pick up with clean and comfortable car. Great pilots with clear explanations and simply breathtaking scenery! Nothing to fault. However, I would skip the breakfast / camel / balcony and just enjoy that in your own hotels when the trip ends.

it’s an absolute blast from start to finish, we were picked up by Mr.Mohammad and coordinated by Mr Abdul and they took care of us untill we reached the hotel safe, all staff were lovely and very informative, I was a little nervous in doing this beforehand but I felt totally at ease when doing it and it's one of the best things l've done and one which was not on my bucket list. Capt Ahmed Basheer made sure our journey was smoother without any hurdle. All I say to people visiting Dubai kindly go with this crew you won't repent ...habibi !!!

It was the best time. It was early in the morning and there were some tough parts, but the beautiful scenery more than made up for it. It became a very good memory. The people in the same group were Japanese and Korean, so maybe they organized it for the Asian region. Mohammed, who was in charge from the pick-up, had leadership skills and made things go smoothly and made it a fulfilling time. He was very used to taking photos, and took group photos of the balloons while they were being prepared, and took photos and videos when the balloons were leaving, so I had the impression that his service was much better than other groups. He shared the photos he took immediately, so I was able to bask in the afterglow even in the car on the way back. I was also impressed by his excellent service. I saw the first sunrise from the balloon, and it was really amazing. The view of the other balloons reflected in the morning glow was really really amazing. I was worried about participating alone, but that wasn't the case at all, and I'm really glad I participated. It was such a great time that I can confidently say that anyone who is wondering whether to participate should definitely participate.

This trip started in the middle of the night. When we went to the countryside (it was a bit cold), we could see many stars (an extra bonus!). We went to a place where there would be a safety briefing and then we would take a car to ride a hot air balloon. It's a little hot when you go up to the hot air balloon because there's so much fire 😂 When you go up to the sky, the pilot will control the hot air balloon to rotate 360 degrees, and you can see every method. The pilot and I were nice people, and sometimes they would lower the hot air balloon and let us see the animals in the desert. Since you will be watching the sunrise, it is recommended to wear sunglasses. After landing, the pilot took a group photo with me again 👍🏻 Then we went to have breakfast, which was a buffet with many choices. I didn’t remember that I had to finish my breakfast within 30 to 45 minutes, so I rode a camel and watched an eagle (there was a bit of chur). I thought I would see an eagle flying around, but I had to take a photo together (it’s available in many places, so it’s optional) ) The other camel is bred in captivity. Like two circles on the left? 😂This breakfast has delicious ketchup beans (I hate ketchup beans, my friend forced me to pick them up). I can’t believe it is so different. It has the flavor of Middle Eastern spices, and it tastes so rich and meaningful😂 Those big beans are canned. (An unexpected surprise)

Our Incredible Hot Air Balloon Experience in Dubai 🤩 Our hot air balloon adventure in Dubai was nothing short of breathtaking, a memory that will stay with us forever. From the moment we arrived at the launch site, the excitement was palpable. As the giant balloon inflated against the backdrop of the rising sun, we knew we were about to witness something extraordinary. Once we lifted off, the world transformed beneath us. Floating serenely above the golden desert dunes, the sheer expanse of the landscape was mesmerizing. The contrast of the sandy waves with the lush patches of greenery and wandering camels made it feel like we were gliding over a living painting. The tranquility up there was unmatched, with only the occasional roar of the balloon’s burner interrupting the silence. As we soared higher, the panoramic views became even more surreal, and watching the sun cast its golden glow over the horizon felt magical. The entire experience was made even better by the professional and knowledgeable crew, who ensured our safety and shared fascinating insights about the desert and ballooning itself. Their passion added an extra layer of appreciation to the journey. Descending gently back to the ground was bittersweet—we didn’t want it to end. The experience wasn’t just a flight; it was a chance to connect with nature and see Dubai’s beauty from a perspective few get to enjoy. If you’re ever in Dubai, a hot air balloon ride is a must. It’s not just an activity, it’s an awe-inspiring adventure that leaves you feeling humbled and exhilarated.

The experience was mesmerising. The Hot air ballon opertor Sindbad is very professional. They shared pick up info one day prior, picked us up on time. At venue they served us hot coffee n then tour opertor and pilot gave us detailed do and don'ts to be followed during ride. During ride they gradually elevated the ballon to 4000 ft. The pilot guided us about the elevations,wind speed. He rotated the ballon many times so that everybody gets 360 degree view. It was windy at heights, n morning sun 🌞 can be experienced from 4000 ft height. During this ride balloon travels through desert and finally lands several kilometers from original site. Pilot already warned us about rough landing due to winds and guided us to take position during landing. The bucket then hit 3 to 4 times while drifting and finally settled in horizontal position. The ground staff was already there and helped quickly to rescue everyone.All in all it was must have experience.The breakfast, falcon show and camel ride is also nice.

My daughter went for the hot air ballon trip. She was picked up by a transfer coach and the trip was smooth. She was served with coffee when arrived the site. There were about 3 groups on arrival and each group had around 20 people for each hot air balloon basket. After entering the hot air ballon, they were secured with seat belts. The balloon trip was smooth and rised at few times to increase the level until they reached 4000 feet height. It was beautiful being surrounded by various hot air balloons at different heights, and the sunrise was so so beautiful and is highly recommeded for adventurers. There were plenty of time for sunrise photo shooting and the pilot will rotate the basket for everyone in different corners of the basket to take pictures with it. She was lucky to enjoy a very steady balloon ride due to steady wind. She also got a e-copy of certificate after the trip. She was in a comfortable car to transfer back to the hotel. Great Trip to meet new international friends!

We booked last minute (late afternoon) for the following day balloon flight. They then WA us quickly to see if we can bring forward to next day due to poor weather forecast. We agreed and arrangements were made swiftly after that (send passport & weight info, confirm pickup timing). Pick-up at our hotel (Palm area) was on-time at 4.45am. Arrived at briefing site closer near to 6am. Had to sign individual indemnity form. Simple coffee & tea provided - they will politely asked for your choice and make it for you. Toilets available on site and are clean. After flight briefing conducted, had to travel 10 mins to launch site. Some may find the climb into basket not so easy (to note for elderly or those with difficulties). Take-off was very smooth and landing was a little bumpy, as anticipated. Pilot was cheery and engaging and gave out flight info occasionally. Enjoyable and scenic flight with total of 8 balloons in the air (with different operators) We booked the package with breakfast and falcon/camel ride. Breakfast was decent, served in a clean comfortable area. Camel ride/ Falcon was a short experience only. Overall, a good experience and the kids enjoyed it.

We will contact you by email after ordering, and we will also confirm the next day's pick-up time with you via WhatsApp the evening before. The pick-up location is not far from the city, about an hour's drive. It is easier to ride a camel than a falcon. I just took pictures, rode two small circles on camels, and had very little breakfast, but I didn’t have much of an appetite. The best part was the hot air balloon ride, which was pretty good👍

I was picked-up at 3am at my hotel by our driver, Muhammad Nawaz. He was on time and bought us safely to the camp. He even offered to take photos of me in front of the hot air balloon. This was my first hot air balloon experience and I’m so happy that I did this in Dubai. Seeing the Dubai desert at sunrise and on a different perspective was magical. Luckily, we saw a herd of Arabian Oryx in the wild. I did this activity on my last day in Dubai. It was such an unforgettable experience and a great way to end my Dubai trip! 🥰🫶🎈
