Hot air balloon ride - The whole team at Sinbad were amazing, I booked last minute and they managed to arrange a birthday banner for my boyfriend’s 30th birthday. The whole team really made it very special for us and would recommend everyone to experience the hot air balloon.

Just do it - Experienced friendly and serious crew. To fly over the desert at sunrise was really a experience. Just do it, you only live once, today's the day, and now is the moment. You won't regret it.

Great experience - The hot air balloon was amazing!! The pilot was very friendly and explained everything in detail. The sunrise above the clouds was breathtaking. The camel ride was a little disappointing. I thought we were going to ride the camels over the dunes but it was about 5-10 mins in a circle. The falcon was a great picture moment as well.

Expectations met above and beyond! - Words cannot express how much fun my family and I had with Sindbad Gulf Balloons. The staff are amazing and so helpful! To help celebrate my mom’s birthday, they organized and created a birthday banner to go on the side of our basket. Ibrahim was extremely helpful with setting everything up before we arrived to Dubai. He was very polite, patient, and responsive when answering questions. Hamid was our guide and transfer driver. He is very knowledgeable about the hot air balloon experience, and was able to guide and calm our nerves. He is also knowledgeable about sites in and around Dubai. He often pointed out significant sights during our commute. With our package, we took pictures with a falcon, had breakfast and did camel rides. Staff was polite and helped capture the moments by taking our pictures. Some add-ons that made this experience even better was a private transfer, birthday banner, and video package. Although these are additional charges, it was worth it! Overall, my family and I had an amazing time! We took a ton of amazing photos! This was an experience that we will never forget. Thank you so much Ibrahim, Hamid, Staff and Sindbad Gulf Balloons for making my mom’s birthday so special and giving my family special memories that we will never forget! We will definitely be back to Dubai and will be using there services again. I highly recommend Sindbad Gulf Balloons!

A very memorable experience - A wonderful way to see the desert from the sky. A truly unforgettable experience. A clearer overview of the itinerary would have been nice as it’s not explained very well before hand (such as when the breakfast and camel rides will take place etc)

Don’t do it! This is an honest Review! - We literally just got back to the hotel and I couldn’t wait to write this review! We had planned a trip to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, and we thought this would be a great idea. However, we were deeply disappointed with our experience. We paid $626.00 USD for breakfast, which included bologna, hotdogs, and a mysterious meat mixture with pork and beans, along with fruit and powdered eggs. The food looked absolutely disgusting, and we couldn’t bring ourselves to eat it. To make matters worse, they offered an extra $60 for additional video and pictures, which we found to be completely worthless. We had taken better photos and videos with our own phones. I messaged to asked for the edited version of the video they promised I’m still waiting on them to respond! One of the most disappointing aspects of the trip was the camel ride. Instead of a relaxing experience, we were confined to the back of a trailer and made to go in circles. It was a complete waste of money and felt like a scam. The only positive aspect of the trip was the balloon ride. It was relaxing until someone started playing loud music, which ruined the experience. To top it off, we had to ride there and back in the third row of a vehicle designed for toddlers. It was uncomfortable and made the entire trip even more unpleasant. Overall, we had a terrible experience and would never recommend this place to anyone.
