Excellent hot air balloon ride!

Leah_K, May 2023

I had the best time on the hot air balloon ride! The entire staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful! The ride was so peaceful, we got to see the sun rise over the mountains. We also saw lots of camels on the ground. It was fun to learn about ballooning from the pilot and some fun facts. For example, the hot air balloon went as high as the burg khalifa on our journey! The breakfast afterwards was wonderful and delicious! I really enjoyed interacting with the birds and the story about why a champagne toast is tradition after a hot air balloon flight. I am so happy I went on this excursion. Would highly recommend. Two thumbs way up!!
