The Premium Flight takes the Deluxe package — flight, breakfast, camel ride, falconry — and adds a full desert safari on top: dune bashing in a 4x4 followed by 30 minutes of guided quad biking. It’s built for guests who want the sunrise flight but also want to spend the rest of the morning actually out in the dunes rather than heading back to the hotel right after breakfast.

The order is straightforward. You fly first, while the light and air are best for ballooning, then land and move into the camp side of the morning — falconry, camel ride, the breakfast buffet — before the safari segment takes over. Dune bashing runs first since it needs a driver at their sharpest, and the quad biking closes things out once everyone’s had a chance to warm up on the terrain.

Door to door it’s close to seven hours, which is the longest of the single-day packages, but it’s also the one guests describe as feeling like a complete Dubai desert day rather than just a balloon ride with extras attached. If dune bashing and quad biking aren’t a priority and you’d rather keep the morning shorter, the Deluxe Flight covers the same camp experience without the safari segment.

Premium Flight — Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Premium Flight different from Deluxe?

Everything in the Deluxe Flight — balloon flight, breakfast, camel ride, falconry — plus a morning desert safari with dune bashing and 30 minutes of quad biking. It's the package to pick if you want the balloon flight and a proper desert adventure in one morning.

Is dune bashing safe for someone who's never done it before?

Yes — it's led by an experienced driver in the group's 4x4, and it's a common add-on for first-timers. If anyone in your group would rather sit it out, let the team know when booking.

How long is the whole Premium Flight morning?

Around seven hours door to door — pickup at 3:45–4:30 AM and drop-off by 10:15–11:00 AM, covering the flight, camp activities, dune bashing and quad biking.

Do I need experience to ride the quad bike?

No prior experience is needed — the 30-minute session is guided and paced for guests trying it for the first time, with a safety briefing before you start.
