Hot Air Balloon in Dubai

An early morning ride on the Hot Air Balloon imparts an uninterrupted view of the sunrise that blazons the dunes.  Out of the many desert safari tours in Dubai, a hot air balloon ride is the only one that takes a flight and gives you a bird’s eye view of the rustic beauty. If you are a sucker for sunsets, hop on an evening safari ride and look out for Arabian gazelles and Oryx in the desert.

The 60-minute long aerial safari accommodates about 24 people at a time. A professional pilot operates the balloon in the desert while a guide recites stories about Dubai's past and present. Once you land, you can participate in a range of desert activities, one of which is the cliche act of getting clicked while the national bird of UAE- the Falcon, sits on one of your arms.

On this amazing hot air balloon safari, you can also choose overnight safari with the sunrise Hot Air Balloon Ride and a gourmet breakfast. Each of these safaris is operated by Dubai's best abandoned safari organization, Platinum Heritage.

About the Hot Air Balloon in Dubai:

Enjoy and explore the iconic Dubai desert as you float gently in a hot air balloon. All the balloon rides start just before sunrise and therefore, you need to wake up before dawn and take an early morning drive to catch the glimpse of the natural beauty all around you. The Dubai hot air balloon adventure starts with a quick pre-flight briefing and then, you are aboard the basket to glide all across the vast expanse of the desert of Dubai. You’ll be captivated right away as the balloon takes off! The wind will serenely float you across the astonishing conservation reserve and over the desert flora and fauna.

The Premium Hot Air Balloon Dubai also happens in the morning, giving you the opportunity to watch the sun going up the Hajjar Mountains and how it changes the look and the color of the desert. While you float along with the warm breeze in the air, you would be able to see the magical desert of Dubai and the wildlife in the surroundings. Take a look at the camels, oryx, gazelles, etc. of the desert from high above. The entire hot air balloon ride in Dubai is the perfect way of enjoying the beauty of Dubai in a leisurely way.

Your desert adventure begins early in the morning when you’ll be picked up from your hotel and taken to Margham Desert for a refreshment and briefing from the pilot. Next, you’ll be driven over the red sand dunes of the Dubai desert to your takeoff location, where you’ll witness the inflation of the hot air balloon on the ground.

After takeoff, you’ll float above the Arabian desert and enjoy the sunrise from 4000 feet above the ground, taking in breathtaking views of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve and native wildlife. Once you’ve landed, you'll be driven back to Margham Desert to freshen up and have your photo taken with a falcon.

Next up, you’ll have a safety talk before experiencing the thrill of quad biking over the desert dunes and enjoying a camel ride. On the safari, your guide will drive you in a 4x4 vehicle over towering sand dunes, deep into the heart of the desert. At your destination, enjoy an authentic Arabic-style breakfast before being dropped off back at your hotel.
