    The balloon ride was amazing. Only issue was the guide Haider was not at all friendly and very rude.
  • As the sun begins to rise, you will be treated to a steaming cup of tea or coffee as you prepare for take-off. Witness the sun rise and cast its warm glow over the dunes, as you soar above the city from an altitude of 4000 feet, taking in the majestic views of the desert below. From above, you can even spot camels roaming the dunes and maybe even some rare wildlife like gazelles, desert hares, and the elusive Arabian Oryx. This once-in-a-lifetime adventure includes round-trip hotel transfers so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey.

    For a more immersive experience, opt for a ticket that includes a hearty breakfast complete with Middle Eastern, Asian, and Continental delicacies. You can also upgrade to include a 10-minute camel ride as the Bedouins did and a 30-minute quad biking adventure. Or simply, upgrade your ticket to include in-flight photos and videos of your experience, letting you savor the sunrise without the worry of capturing the perfect photo.
