"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the things you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

Overview
Head across the desert in the pre-dawn darkness to the launch site in the desert. As the sun slowly rises over this beautiful sandy landscape, the gas burners are ignited and the balloon slowly comes to life. Soon you will be soaring into the immense blue of the desert sky and enjoying magnificent views of the rugged Hajj Mountains to the east and the 21st century Dubai skyline to the west. The balloon flight lasts for around an hour and each experience is totally unique with the flight route and landing location totally dependant on the wind strength and direction. Land among the sand dunes and enjoy some light refreshments including chilled fruit juice, sodas and snacks before experiencing the thrill of desert driving as you are whisked back through the dunes to the main road for Dubai

Dress Code/What to Bring
Lightweight summer clothing is suitable for most of the year although in the winter months it’s probably advisable to take a jumper or light jacket. It is no colder in the air than on the ground, so simply dress as you would for that day. Closed toe shoes are a must and we also suggest that you take a pair of good quality sunglasses.
Additional Information
Passenger must be at least 5 years old. There is no upper age limit for the balloon flight.
This tour only operates October to May only as it is too hot in the summer months.
