Swipe through real moments from our sunrise balloon flights over the Dubai desert
Your sunrise balloon flight starts early. At 3:45 AM, we pick you up from your hotel in Dubai. Our driver takes you to the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. The city lights fade as the open desert comes into view. The drive takes about 45 minutes and is a great time to relax and prepare for the adventure ahead.
At the launch site, you watch the crew fill the balloon with hot air. Giant burners light up the sky before dawn. Our licensed pilots give you a short safety talk. Then you step into the big basket. It fits up to 24 guests. The whole setup takes about 20 minutes, and it is amazing to watch.
The balloon lifts off as the sun rises over the dunes. You float for about one hour. Below you, golden sand dunes stretch to the horizon. You may spot desert wildlife — oryx and gazelles roam free here. The views are stunning in every direction. Many guests say this is the best part of their trip to the UAE.
During the flight, enjoy free drinks — coffee, tea, water, and soft drinks. Take photos from above. The calm, quiet ride makes it easy to relax and take it all in. Your pilot will point out key landmarks and share facts about the desert below.
After landing, you get your flight certificate — a great souvenir. Our driver brings you back to your hotel by 8:00–9:00 AM. You still have the full day ahead to explore the city, visit the malls, or head to the beach.
This Standard package is our most popular choice for first-time visitors. It gives you the core experience at the best price. Want more from your trip? Our Deluxe Flight adds a camel ride, falconry show, and gourmet breakfast. Or try the Adventure Flight with quad biking and dune bashing. See all options on our main page.
