The basket was roomy with a quick well executed take off. Lovely views of the desert and the guides pointed out areas of interest, helped us spot wildlife and made sure everyone had a great view of the sunrise. An exceptional hot air balloon experience. 30minute opportunity to ride the camels, meet a hawk and have some breakfast. I’d say these were an added bonus, the camel guide took excellent photos. The breakfast wasn’t ideallic but for a…”

“This was the highlight of my trip, initially I was reluctant to book it based on how early the tour was 04:30 a.m but, it turned out to be the best timing as we got to see the sun rise and the temperature was cooler. The balloon was rotated to ensure that we all experienced the best views and took pictures. Henna was on offer, beautiful and done quickly so that everyone had a turn. The tour is perfectly structured such that I could still fit in other excursions later on in the day.”

“Fantastic day spent with the Maha Hot Air Balloon team. Everything went smoothly from making the booking onwards. I took my young family firstly on the hot air balloon - an early start of 4am but very much worth it to see the sunrise. We then were taken by our excellent driver (Fazal) to another part of the desert to go 4x4 dune bashing, including offering us the option of sand boarding (something we were keen to do but didn’t find easily on the GYG options). Overall a brilliant day out and one that will stay in our memories for years to come.”
