Booked this experience on our latest trip out to Dubai. Early start as collected at 0400. Driven in air con minibus to the balloon site. Several balloons laid out on the ground with ground crews around. Take a light jacket and sensible footwear as it can be a bit cooler in the early morning in the desert. Good safety briefing with water and coffee provided. No toilets so bear that in mind when you get on the balloon. Balloon inflated and aboard we went. Our pilot was Andrew a Kiwi and a world class pilot. The flight was great breathtaking views and a sunrise with a difference. A soft landing then a short ride to the vintage Land Rover drive which took us to a desert camp for breakfast falconry and camel rides. Food was varied but delicious. Back in the Land Rover to the minibus point and dropped off at 0930. A great day or early morning. As I said wear sensible shoes and a light weight jacket or fleece to take the chill off. Also no toilets until you get to the camp for breakfast. Great staff great views and food and money very well spent.
