A magical hot air ride over sand dunes, oases and camels awaits you at Dubai. You can witness different hues of the sunrise over the desert during this luxurious journey. You feel so close yet so far from the glitz and the glamour of the city.
Balloons soar over 4000 feet high during your one hour flight moving across canyons of Dubai Desert Conservation Range. You may spot wandering camels and gazelles from your balloon. You see the vast desert beneath you and wonder where it ends. Views of the giant dunes, the moon-like landscape of the rugged mountains and the "ultra-modern" skyline of Dubai are breathtaking. The hot air balloons can accommodate as many as 24 people. However, options are available for lesser no of people too including couple ballooning.
