ITINERARY

• Get picked up from Dubai (hotel or private residence) between 3 AM and 5 AM, by a dedicated Conservation Guide in a modern Land Rover Defender 130. Pick-up times vary according to sunrise, and your exact pickup time will be shared with you the evening before your experience.

• Arrive at an enchanting take-off site where you're welcomed with Arabic coffee and dates.

• Marvel at the world's only drone show before a hot air balloon flight and watch in awe as the sky lights up.

• Feel the thrill as your balloon gets filled with air and fire, slowly taking shape in front of you, and get ready to jump on board.

• Enjoy ultra-comfort as we have reduced the capacity of each basket compartment to allow more room and exclusivity on every flight.

• Experience the captivating stories of the land as our in-flight storyteller shares cultural tales of the desert.

• Fly alongside the world's fastest animal as you witness an in-flight falcon show.
