    This was such a great trip. I cannot recommend it enough. The staff were extremely safety conscious which gave a feeling of confidence. The balloon ride itself was relaxing with lots to see. It gave a totally different experience of the desert. We saw camels roaming the dunes alongside wild donkeys. The pilot was very knowledgeable and turned the balloon so we all got to see different viewpoints. The landing was expertly handled. The breakfast which followed was delightful. There was even a special cake and flowers, as it was our wedding anniversary. A memorable experience not to be missed

    Beautiful

    Sarah_W, Apr 2025
    Amazing experience, very well organised. Overall a beautiful peaceful trip. Just be aware, if you’re wanting all the photos the crew members takes of you in their IPhone, be willing to pay an extra 149 AED on top off the prices you’ve already paid.

    Magical experience

    Efficient and luxury transfer. Competent staff, great pilot and magical experience. We saw a gorgeous sunset, camels and beautiful sand dunes. All finished with champagne and snacks

    Majestic sunrise flight

    Julia_S, Oct 2024
    An early start but seeing the sun rise behind the hills was rather special. Saw some camels and incredibly managed to touch down where we started. NB The burners are loud and hot - a cap is well advised.

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    That sounds amazing! Watching the sunrise over the hills must have been a breathtaking experience. How cool that you got to see camels too! I can imagine the thrill of landing back where you started :-). Thank you Julia for the tips - we’ll definitely recommend bringing cap for our upcoming flights.
