Dubai Desert Hot-Air Balloon Sunrise

About this experience

Watch first light spread across the Dubai desert from a hot-air balloon. The early-morning programme normally includes a pre-flight briefing, a shared balloon flight and wide views over dunes and conservation landscapes, followed by the refreshments or breakfast included with the confirmed package.

Ballooning is weather-dependent and operates only with the required aviation approval. Flight duration, pickup area, landing point and any added falcon or heritage activities vary by supplier; Tawaf Travel confirms the complete programme and restrictions before payment.
