About Hot Air Balloon Dubai
We fly guests over the Dubai desert at sunrise, in the calm early-morning air that makes ballooning safe and the view unforgettable. Every flight departs from a launch site on the edge of the desert, timed to lift off right as the sky turns from indigo to amber — the same window every licensed balloon operator in the region works within, because it's the only time of day the air is still enough to fly.
Beyond the flight itself, most of our packages continue into a Bedouin-style desert camp — breakfast, a falconry display, a camel ride, and on our Heritage and Overnight packages, a vintage Land Rover safari through the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. It's a genuinely different way to see the Dubai desert than a standard daytime tour.
Safety First, Every Flight
- ✓ All pilots hold a valid GCAA (General Civil Aviation Authority) licence.
- ✓ Flights operate to the safety and quality standards set by the UAE's aviation regulator.
- ✓ Every passenger completes a short pre-flight health declaration.
- ✓ A ground crew tracks the balloon by vehicle throughout every flight.
- ✓ Flights only launch when weather conditions are within safe limits — never as a judgment call on the day.
Our Team
A small, dedicated ground crew handles everything from your 4 AM pickup to the desert camp afterward — drivers, launch crew, falconers and camp staff who do this every flying morning of the season, September through May.
