Description:
Dubai's geography and
climate are ideal for ballooning - they provide a unique
situation where passengers can experience the desert as only a
few have seen it - from a gently floating hot air
balloon.
Feel the cool dawn
air as you float only a few metres above the red dunes, then
be awestruck as the mesmerizing landscape unfolds below
you.
View the giant dunes, the moon-like landscape of the
rugged Hajj mountains to the east, and the "21st century"
skyline of Dubai to the west as you rise high into the immense
blue of the desert sky.
Whether you are on holiday in Dubai or a local, the
views on offer from our hot air balloon rides will take you to
new levels of appreciation and awe of the desert and it's
unique landscape.
Balloon Adventures/Rides Dubai provide courtesy
transfers from any major hotel in Dubai, United Arab
Emirates.
FAQ's
Why should I fly in
Dubai? The Dubai desert is a truly unique
landscape. Flying above it in a hot air balloon gives you the
opportunity to view this as very few people have done
before.
What is included? We will
pick you up from any major hotel in Dubai (or meet you at our
central meeting point), provide transfers to and from the
desert flight area in our new airconditioned Toyota
Landcruisers, an approximate one hour balloon flight, light
refreshments following your flight, a personalized flight
certificate signed by your pilot, a four wheel drive
experience from the landing site to the main road and then
return you to your hotel or meeting
point.
Why do we have to start so
early? The best time to fly balloons is in
the cool dawn air when the winds are light. It is also the
most beautiful time of day in the
desert.
What should I wear? It is
warm in the balloon and the desert so you should dress as if
you were going for a walk outside in the city. We suggest that
you wear trainers or similar, and not high heels. Bring a hat
or cap and sunglasses.
Can I bring my camera? Yes,
however the desert can be a dusty place so you should be very
careful to prevent dust getting in your camera… particularly
if it is a digital model.
How long does it take? We fly
over the desert for approximately one hour. You should allow
up to five hours from when we meet you until we return you to
the same point.
If I am afraid of heights is this OK for
me? Many people who are afraid of heights
come on our balloon flights. The feeling of flying in a
balloon is very gentle and different from looking off a high
bridge or building, or climbing a ladder. You should have no
problem, however if you are really concerned please advise
your pilot and he will take special care of
you.
Is there an age limit? The
minimum age is five. There is no upper age limit. We have
regularly flown people in their 80’s and 90’s. The oldest to
fly with us has been 102.
How fit do I have to
be? Ballooning is a soft “adventure” so it
does not require a high level of fitness. You should be able
to stand unaided and climb into the basket. If you have a
serious medical condition or perhaps have recently had a hip
replacement we advise you to check with your doctor for you
own peace of mind
Is it safe? Statistically
ballooning is the safest form of flying. Certainly much safer
than driving in a motor car! Our balloons are inspected and
certified in the same way as an airliner and undergo various
inspections every four months, every year and every 100 hours.
This is required by law. Our engineer is qualified in the
factory of the balloon manufacturer in
England.
Who are the pilots? All our
pilots are internationally qualified commercial pilots and
amongst the most experienced in the world. All are full time
professionals.
Do you have insurance? Yes.
Public liability is a requirement to qualify for and hold an
Air Operators Certificate in the U.A.E.
How much does it
cost? 183 Euro per person.
This is well priced when compared to flying in other places
such as Africa, Australia or the United
Kingdom.
Price Per Adult : 265 Euro
