The tour was exactly a combination of adventure, relaxation, and tranquility as mentioned on the web page. The desert looks breath-taking from the balloon that floated thousands of feet above the ground. It was lovely to see Arabian oryx, and gazelles roaming freely. Following the balloon flight, we enjoyed camel and horse riding that gave us a real-life experience of the Bedouin life. At the end, we were served Middle Eastern, Asian, and Continental delicacies in breakfast.

It was a novel experience to see the hot-air balloon being prepared for the flight. Once it raised high above the ground, the desert spectacle in a hue of colors that we saw was incredible. After taking in the beauty of the desert and its flora and fauna, we engaged in camel and horse riding, which was fun. The fun and adventure ended with a gourmet breakfast.

Reaching to the flight point before dawn and watching the experts prepare for the flight was very exciting. As the balloon got lifted above the ground with the lighting up of the burner, we got to enjoy something our eyes couldnâ€™t believe. Just go for the balloon flight and experience magical moments.

The whole experience from reaching to the boarding point at dawn and then taking the flight as the sun started to rise, soaking in marvellous views of the desert landscape, enjoying breakfast after the flight, and receiving a flight certificate was sheer fun.

Driving towards the Hajar Mountains and engaging in sunrise photography was excellent. When the basket took off, feeling the gentle morning breeze on our faces was very soothing. We were regaled with the sights of magical dunes, oasis, sea, and a lot more.

Enjoy an unforgettable sunrise flight over the Margham Desert, soaring up to 4,000 feet for breathtaking views of golden dunes and rugged mountains.

Getting started

Get picked up from your Dubai hotel before dawn and travel to the Margham Desert launch site. Enjoy a warm cup of tea, coffee, or kava as you watch the balloon inflate. Attend a quick safety briefing and present your ID before boarding.
