The famed desert sunrise is arguably one of the most beautiful sights that you can catch on your visit to the Middle East. You will be picked up from your hotel at an appropriately early hour in the morning and dropped off at the balloon take-off point in the desert. After a short safety briefing, fasten your seatbelt as the hot air balloon ascends gently into the air, giving you a panoramic view of the surrounding desert. Bask in the fantastic view of the rising sun, as it bathes the desert landscape in shades of orange and yellow. If you are lucky, you might also spot some local wildlife during the ride.
A fleet of restored 1950s Land Rovers, some of the first few motorized vehicles to be introduced in the desert, will take you to a traditional Bedouin camp nestled amongst the sand dunes. Hoist yourself onto the back of a camel and explore the outskirts of the camp for some time. Head back to the camp for a 5-star à la carte breakfast. Choose from an extensive cuisine that includes shakshuka, salmon, caviar, fresh fruit, Benedict, and halloumi cheese. Relax for a while in the traditional majlis before heading back to the drop-off point in the city. Alternatively, you can extend your tour and go on a fascinating wildlife drive in the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve.
