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
