My amazing 40th birthday flight - wow - From being collected from the hotel at 04:30 am we soon arrived at the drop zone where we were greeting by our balloon pilot Ramy who was an absolute legend . Within 10 mins we were in the basket ready for take off , We were so lucky to have a cloud inversion and once we broke through , the sunrise over the Oman mountain range and conservation area was incredible . Finally we reached 4000ft and Ramy began to sing happy birthday in which the whole group joined in which was a real nice touch , The falcon show was incredible and the bird handler (falconer) with the star of the show “IVAN “ couldn’t do enough to answer all our questions and made the experience unforgettable All in all this trip is sensational and run by an amazing group of people who ensure you go away with the most amazing memories . Thank you so much and I can’t wait to get back up in the skies the next time I visit Dubai Alex and Laura

Absolutely splendid experience...don't miss it! - What an amazing time we had! The balloon crew was awesome, and the falconer and his Peregrine were wonderful; I don't know that this could be equaled anywhere else. It was the highlight of our four-week trip in Paris, Athens, and the UAE. The cost of this flight was cheaper than the one being offered at our hotel, but do check prices. We also attended the optional breakfast, which, honestly, was better than the breakfast served at the Marriott. Wish we could give it 10 stars...

A must in Dubai - Incredible experience. I highly recommend it! Pick up was very smooth and all information was given before getting onto the hot air balloon. Couldn’t fault it at all!

Unfortunate Event - I bought this for my elderly mother in-law and friend. They said the pick up and take off were great and they were having a good time. Unfortunately, the wind picked and their landing was rough. They ended up with bruises all over their bodies. They said other balloons had worse landings and several ambulances were called to the sight. It’s a shame as the landing will ruin their memory of this whole event.
