Overview

Your experience begins before sunrise with a comfortable 4x4 transfer from Abu Dhabi into the desert. As the morning sky starts to change colors, you’ll join your crew at the launch site and watch the balloon being inflated — an impressive sight on its own. Once aboard, the basket lifts smoothly and you’ll glide silently above the dunes, enjoying the stillness of the early morning and the cool desert air.

After landing, you’ll be welcomed at a Bedouin-style camp where a traditional breakfast is served. Here, you’ll have the chance to discover more about Emirati heritage: interact with trained falcons, take photos, and try a short camel ride to experience a glimpse of nomadic life. The adventure wraps up with a certificate to remember your flight, before returning comfortably to your hotel in Abu Dhabi.

What's included

  • Flight Certificate signed by the pilot.
  • Falconry experience
  • Hotel pick-up and drop-off by 4x4 shared transfer
  • Morning refreshments (tea, coffee, Arabic kava, and dates)
  • Gourmet breakfast in a traditional Bedouin camp
  • Professional photography
  • Falcon Photography.

What to expect

Start your day with a scenic drive into the Abu Dhabi desert, where you’ll meet your experienced crew and prepare for takeoff. After a safety briefing, step into the basket and gently rise up to 4,000 feet for breathtaking sunrise views over the dunes.

Once you land, head to a traditional Bedouin camp for a freshly prepared gourmet breakfast. Try the ancient Emirati tradition of falconry, pose with a falcon on your arm, and enjoy a short camel ride to experience Bedouin culture firsthand.

Your adventure ends with a commemorative flight certificate before being comfortably driven back to your hotel.
