About This Tour
The Hot Air Balloon Dubai sunrise experience is one of the most magical things you can do in the emirate. Guests are collected from their hotel before dawn and driven to the launch site in the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, where a professional crew inflates the balloon as the first light appears on the horizon.
The 60-minute flight drifts over the red dunes, with panoramic views of gazelles, Arabian oryx, and the rolling desert stretching to the Hajar Mountains. Ends with a traditional Bedouin champagne breakfast.
Operators: Shepherd Hot Air Balloons and Maha Hot Air Balloons — both listed on DoJoin.
