What to expect

It’s time to fly! Follow the staff's instructions, get safely tucked into the basket and start the journey up to 4000 feet in the air! Capture the sunrise and the scenic views of the Margham Desert in your camera and in your mind forever.

After the adventurous balloon ride, you will land somewhere in the desert (there's no exact location, it can change every day) depending on the wind. Once landed and hungry, you can decide to add for an extra cost the experience of a gourmet breakfast in a traditional Bedouin camp. Always as an optional, you can also have the opportunity to engage in the UAE’s oldest traditional sport, falconry. Sit a falcon on your forearm and feel like a character from the Arabian Nights tales. Last but not least, you can eventually enjoy a camel ride and understand how much these animals are a key part of the Bedouin culture.

At the end of this experience, you will be given a commemorative certificate of your flight. Show off your bravado and encourage your friends and family to try this once in a lifetime experience too!
