The magnificent views you will see

On a hot air balloon ride in Dubai, you might see wandering camels, grazing gazelles, and the majestic Arabian oryx resting in their natural habitat of sand dunes. Hot air ballooning, Dubai is usually flown by very experienced pilots who take you on this trip of a lifetime, which is considered a must on your to-do list. Dubai's climate and geography are ideal for ballooning around the huge red dunes.

Get up early to start the trip.

It's best to get up early enough for the best hot air balloon experience. Once you have booked a tour, you will be picked up from your hotel and taken to the embarkation point, which is usually the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. This destination is about thirty minutes from the city. As soon as you arrive at the launch pad, you will be amazed by your colorful hot air balloon as it inflates. The price of hot air ballooning in Dubai is quite reasonable when you book it through a reputable tour operator.

Safety first

Listen carefully to the safety instructions given by the pilot then climb into the basket of the balloon, before it flies away. Each basket can hold up to 24 people, with enough space for everyone to move around comfortably. Don't forget to have your camera handy as you soar through the sky so you can capture views of the golden sands stretching below you.

As you watch the beauty of the sunrise and the rays hitting the red sand, your pilot will give you a brief explanation of the arid landscape and the wildlife that inhabit it. Each hot air balloon flight usually lasts about an hour, before reaching the ground. You can head to the launch center after the tour and collect your personalized certificate for your epic flight, while enjoying a drink or two at the cafe.

Whether you are a resident or vacationer in the Golden City, the sights offered by balloons in Dubai will take your appreciation of nature to new levels. Enjoy the desert landscape and its unique wildlife while enjoying your stay in Dubai.

Falconry and breakfast added to hot air balloon experience

I called Balloon Adventures Emirates recently and they mentioned that they have added new rides to the top of the balloon. Before we only had refreshments after the ride but this time they added a falconry show where you can see the falcons flying around the area. These amazing birds float gently above the pristine sand hills as they explore the Hajar Mountains. There is also a breakfast feature included in the new package. So you can enjoy a good meal in the desert.

For other exciting adventures, you can also try the 1950s Land Rover that you can drive through the desert. This is another experience that many tourists now enjoy in Dubai. So if you're looking to relax on vacation, there's no reason not to try the hot air balloon rides and other spectacular activities on offer in the area.
