This sun-kissed Dubai adventure promises all the quintessential desert highlights: sandy dunes, a traditional Bedouin Camp, dune bashing, quad biking, and camel riding- but the cherry on top of this tour is the hot air balloon ride. You're now given a more surreal vantage point to drink in the remarkable sights of Dubai. Watch the balloon swell into completion, get briefed on the safety measures, and hop aboard. Soar through the blue skies of Dubai as vast expanses of desert lie in front of you.

If you opt for the Deluxe Package or Adventure Package, you'll be taken to a traditional Bedouin Camp, where a gourmet breakfast will lift your spirits, after your hot air balloon ride. Pose alongside a falcon and get a professional to capture the moment on a camera. Enjoy a short and safe camel ride through the desert while you're here. Go on a dune-bashing adventure, quad biking, and horse rising with the Adventure Package and leave with a flying certificate.
