Soar over Dubai’s desert in a hot air balloon, enjoy a gourmet breakfast, and immerse yourself in Emirati culture with camel rides and Arabic coffee.

This half-day Dubai desert adventure goes beyond the typical hot air balloon ride with an immersive experience in a protected nature reserve in Dubai.

Float over the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve and see the desert at sunrise, with hotel transfers on a Land Rover Defender 130.

Relish a Michelin chef-crafted breakfast and experience Emirati culture with a camel ride and a traditional coffee and date ceremony.

You'll also get to enjoy a pre-sunrise drone show and an in-flight falcon show, the perfect blend of adventure, luxury, and authenticity.

Fun fact: The reserve began with 70 Arabian oryx in 1999, and today it is home to 400 oryx, representing the largest free-roaming herd of its kind in the UAE.

A premium desert adventure

Start your day with a true desert adventure that’s more than just a scenic flight—it’s a journey into Dubai’s rich landscape, wildlife, and heritage. The adventure kicks off before dawn as you’re picked up in style from your hotel in a classic Land Rover Defender 130, adding a touch of rugged authenticity to your journey. Once you arrive, settle in for a pre-sunrise drone show, a breathtaking prelude to the day's adventure. For the next hour, you’ll drift high above the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve—a protected sanctuary that is home to a variety of native wildlife.

More than a hot air balloon ride

In the golden light of sunrise, look out for Arabian oryx, gazelles, and even desert foxes roaming the sands below. The reserve is an important refuge for these species, especially the Arabian oryx, which was once on the brink of extinction and has now made a remarkable recovery. During the flight, you’ll also be treated to an in-flight falcon show, adding an element of thrill to your journey. After a gentle descent, your morning continues with a touch of luxury—a gourmet breakfast crafted by a Michelin chef. Served in a beautiful desert setting, the meal offers an array of mouthwatering dishes. The spread includes classic breakfast favorites along with Middle Eastern specialties that bring local flavors to your table.
