Soaring into the Arabian dawn

Your day begins bright and early in the morning, with a seamless pickup from your hotel. As the first rays of sunlight begin to touch the horizon, you'll make your way to Ras Al Khaimah, where a hot air balloon awaits to carry you high above the desert. Before takeoff, sip on warm tea or coffee, preparing for a flight across the Northern Emirates. As you ascend into the sky, the vast desert landscape stretches out below, with golden dunes gently curving like majestic works of art. The tranquil stillness of the early morning is only broken by the soft whispers of the wind as you soar like a majestic falcon, taking in breathtaking views of the Al Wadi desert and its varied terrain.

A bird’s-eye view of the desert

From the sky, Ras Al Khaimah’s desert reveals its hidden treasures. You might spot desert foxes and oryx roaming freely, or see herds of regal camels crossing the dunes. As you float above the dunes, you'll feel like part of this landscape, with the towering Hajar Mountains rising in the distance. Depending on the wind’s direction, you may drift towards the lush mangroves, wadis, or the radiant coastline with the sparkling Arabian Sea below. Marjan Island will soon come into view before your descent to land. Upon touching down, you’ll enjoy a selection of light refreshments, including juices and pastries. To preserve every magical moment, you can choose to upgrade with in-flight photos and videos, capturing the beauty of your flight from start to finish. The experience will be sealed with a pilot-signed certificate.
