Your experience

A skyward journey

Kick off your adventure with a magical hot-air balloon flight at sunrise. After a comprehensive safety briefing, you’ll board the balloon and ascend gently into the dawn sky. As the sun rises, the expansive desert landscape transforms before your eyes, painted in vibrant hues of orange and gold. For a full hour, you'll float high above the sands, enjoying unparalleled views of the dunes and the chance to spot native wildlife such as Arabian oryx and gazelles roaming below. This serene experience not only connects you to the beauty of the desert but also culminates in a pilot-signed flight certificate, a perfect keepsake to commemorate your soaring adventure.

See the desert in style

Following your balloon ride, you’ll take a nostalgic 30-minute drive through the Margham Desert in a vintage 1950s Land Rover. This classic vehicle adds a unique charm to your desert exploration, allowing you to traverse the sandy landscapes in style. As you drive through the terrain, your guide will share insights into the local ecosystem and the significance of the desert within Emirati culture. Then, savor a Bedouin buffet breakfast, prepared to reflect the rich flavors of the region. Accompany your meal with a choice of tea, coffee, or kava, and enjoy the sweetness of dates, a staple in Emirati hospitality. Set against the backdrop of the tranquil desert, this breakfast experience allows you to connect with the culture and flavors of the UAE.
