See Dubai’s desert landscape from above on an early-morning hot air balloon flight, followed by breakfast and a full flight video to keep. This experience is designed to be relaxed, well organised, and accessible for first-time flyers.
The experience starts very early in the morning with pick-up from central Dubai locations. On arrival at the launch site, you’ll be offered tea, coffee, and soft drinks while the balloon is prepared. The pilot will run through a safety briefing, explain the flight process, and answer any questions before boarding.
Once airborne, the balloon drifts steadily over desert dunes and open landscapes, with the flight lasting between 40 minutes and one hour depending on weather conditions. The pace is calm and smooth, making it suitable for guests who may be new to ballooning. During the flight, high-definition video is recorded, capturing both the views and the experience from start to finish.
After landing, a 5-star breakfast is served at the landing site. You’ll also receive a signed flight certificate from the pilot and have time for a group photo before returning to the city. The HD flight video is sent to you by email after the experience.
Flights take place over Dubai’s desert outskirts, away from the city’s built-up areas. The open terrain provides wide views of dunes and arid landscapes, chosen specifically for stable flight conditions and clear visibility.
Pick-up and drop-off are included from main Dubai city areas, removing the need to arrange your own transport for the early start. Exact timings and collection details are confirmed in advance once your booking is secured.
All participants must be in generally good health and able to stand for extended periods during take-off and landing. A medical declaration form must be signed before the flight, and a copy of a passport or national ID is required for all passengers.
The experience is not suitable for children under 5, adults over 70, or anyone who is more than three months pregnant. Guests with serious heart conditions, recent major surgery, fractures, chronic back or neck pain, major joint or spinal surgery, or a fear of heights should not take part.
This experience focuses on clear planning, safety, and consistent delivery. From organised transfers to experienced pilots and structured briefings, each stage is designed to run smoothly, even for those new to hot air ballooning.
Added extras such as breakfast, flight certification, and a professionally recorded HD video ensure the experience feels complete without needing to arrange anything separately. The aim is to offer a reliable, well-paced morning that balances sightseeing with comfort.
