“My companion and myself, we had a truly fantastic time during this activity. We were just the two of us with our guide on a ride of more than an hour. We had a photo stop, very high quality, I must say! right at the moment when all the hot-air balloons were taking off around us. It was a magnificent sight, and the staff was really very kind and hospitable. Our two camels, Luna and Coby, were so funny! They were only thinking about eating the leaves from an apricot tree. We had a proper good laugh and enjoyed a most beautiful landscape. It was a wonderful experience.”
