The crew were amazing, the whole hit air balloon experience was amazing. We were able to see some of the best views from above. Sunrise above the mountains and the desert was a perfect combo. Food was decent and camping location was clean.

Great experience all around! From the drone show to the balloon ride, to the vintage Landrover ride, to the camel ride and the breakfast, it's a lot of fun packed into a few hours. The crew was very positive, polite, and knowledgeable. We had a great time - despite the early hour!

This was our best trip ever! We have done many with Viator & other companies but this one surpassed our expectations - our guide Runel was fantastic and an amazing ambassador for his company. He was so informative and as we passed places on our way to the desert he took time to explain what things were - we learnt so much that we wouldn’t have known otherwise. The whole trip ran to time & was of the best quality - we felt safe & in good hands - our Pilot was so informative & experienced & was happy to chat & have a Q&A session after the balloon ride !!! Amazing!!! The breakfast was brilliant and everyone was catered for - the toilet facilities were incredible for the desert - all the women were so impressed !!! The camel ride was a bonus we just weren’t expecting it to be part of the package and the camel guide was happy to take our pictures and very good humoured - the sand dune ride in the vintage Land Rover topped off an amazing experience that we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend - holding a Kestrel isn’t something you get to do everyday & it was very special - thank you Rumel & your amazing team - but be warned it is an early start !!! 🤣🎈🐪

Everything was so memorable, from the very timely pick-up by Ronald ti the hot coffee and dates, drone show, hot air balloon flight, riding the vintage land rover, scrumptious breakfast, falcon picture, camel back ride, and being transported back to hotel was an awesome experience. Everything met and exceeded my expectations! Thanks!

From start to finish, the whole experience is five star. The vehicles that pick you up from your hotel are clean, new and not crowded. The hot air balloon ride is smooth and the staff makes you feel very comfortable, even at the landing which we were worried about.. The ride on the classic range rovers were awesome and the breakfast buffet was delicious. There are other activities at the camp like camel riding and pictures with falcons. Overall, one of the best things to experience in Dubai. This is definitely the company to use If you want to experience hot air balloon ride at sunrise. Special thanks to our pilot, Orlando, who took us up and brought us down safely.

This was one of the most beautiful, and unique experiences my wife and I have ever had. Our driver Ravi was the best. He was so much fun and took great pictures.
Safety is clearly their number one goal. The entire Air Balloon crew was professional and knowledgeable. It was worth every penny.

Our tour guide Seth was amazing and so nice!! Shoutout to Seth. The breakfast was great and a lot of time spent in the hot air balloon. Super safe and well organized

Under the cover of darkness during the early morning hours, we gathered after being picked up promptly by our fantastic driver/caretaker, Jovan. He took complete care of us from the beginning of our experience until the end when he dropped us off at our hotels. While gathering at the meeting point, the team carefully decided when to leave because of some high winds. During the entire wait and set-up time, it was evident that safety was at the forefront of all decision-making and was greatly appreciated by all. Finally, the time came for us to load up and take off. The flight itself was amazing and flawless. The views from above were outstanding, and the landing, well, the landing, was the best part. :). When you thought things could not get any better, the team topped this experience off with the BEST breakfast in Dubai! Thank you for the amazing time!! #chicago

It was an exciting adventure from the start, and we were collected promptly by our guide Runel. He provided helpful and kind information/advice throughout, allowing us to relax in anticipation.
The balloon proved beautifully quiet and gentle, our captain Orlando very experienced and reassuring. Despite it being windy the landing was easy enough, our sense of delight accentuated by the desert itself.
The camp let us unwind at our own pace, feasting on a generous breakfast without any pressure to cross talons with the falcon or ride mischievous camels (which we did).
Runel took us back after the splendid morning, tired yet filled with inner pictures from a unique trip. We fully recommend this professional and skilful group who conjured the most special part of our entire holiday!

Amazing experience. From the drone lights, hot air balloon ride, Land Rover ride and the breakfast was amazing. 10/10
Tatiana_D, Feb 2024
Amazing experience. From pickup to drop off at our hotel it was an amazing experience. Raj was friendly kind and conversational as we drove. The details were clearly very thought out and everything was perfect. Perfect is not usually a word for a holiday because nothing is perfect however this was as close to perfect as is possible.
