The Best Aerial View In Dubai: Get 360-Degree Views Of Dubai From The Arabian Desert
The Best Aerial View In Dubai: Get 360-Degree Views Of Dubai From The Arabian Desert

Unlike most tall attractions located in the city, offering views of shimmery skyscrapers and bustling highways, a hot air balloon flight in Dubai offers a much more relaxing scenery. When the first rays of the morning sun radiate the desert landscape, the natural beauty of Dubai is uncovered, and it’s simply magnificent.

Here are some of the best sights you can come across when taking a hot air balloon flight in Dubai:

ARABIAN WILDLIFE

The desert ecosystem is a habitat for several animals. From graceful gazelles to stately oryx, keep an eye out for these native dwellers as your balloon floats over the desert. Balloon Adventures Dubai is the only hot air balloon company in the UAE that is authorized to fly over the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve – which is home to a wide variety of animals, including the Sand Cat, Houbara, Barbary Falcon, Rupell’s Fox, Sand Gazelle, Arabian Oryx, Camels, and so many more species.

STUNNING GREENERY

Dubai is home to a gorgeous desert teeming with life. From ancient trees like the Date Palm, Ghaf Tree, and the Samur Tree, to beautiful lakes which are home to more than one hundred species of birds including many migratory birds.       

GIRAFFES

Yes, you read that right. Giraffes are no strangers to the Dubai Desert. Enjoy this video captured by one of our hot air balloon guests, where they spot a small tower of giraffes roaming through the desert.       

ENDLESS GOLDEN DUNES

During your magical hot air balloon flight, there will be a point where your pilot will lower the balloon basket closer to the floor of the desert so you can get an up-close view of the landscape below. This is where you will see the Dubai Desert from a whole new level of beauty. The dunes are naturally filtered in golden by the sun and run as far as the eye can see. The vast expanse of these dunes is a humbling and incredible view of Dubai, in contrast to the glitz & glamour of the city. It makes you appreciate how far this beautiful nation has progressed.       

THE HAJJAR MOUNTAINS

A morning spent admiring the beautiful sunrise over the Dubai Desert offers a way to find silence, clarity, and inspiration. If you’re lucky enough, you may also have the chance to sight a beautiful view of the sun peek behind the Hajar Mountains as it rises. It’s truly a sight to behold.       

SMALL VILLAGES AND CAMEL FARMS

The direction in which your hot air balloon will float majorly depends on the direction of the wind. In floating at the command of the wind, many a time, our hot air balloons have taken guests flying over small settlements of rural villages and animal farms. It is especially fun to see the villagers wave hello in awe, as the hot air balloon flies over their homes.       

FALCONS

That’s right. You could be soaring through the skies with a falcon by your side when you book a private charter with Balloon Adventures Dubai! A falcon and falconer go along with you on your balloon basket, and at 4,000ft, the world’s only in-flight falcon show takes place.

  

Treat your sense of sight to a different side of Dubai, with amazing views from the skies over the majestic desert.  

 As you travel along on your approximately 1-hour balloon ride, you have the opportunity to leave the bustling city and relax, recharge, and revitalize your mind and soul with spectacular panoramic views of Dubai. Experience this beautiful city from a different perspective.

Balloon Adventures Dubai Flying High At World Travel Awards
Balloon Adventures Dubai Flying High At World Travel Awards

Floating 4,000 ft above one of the most beautiful destinations will have anyone feel like a winner. For most, it will be ticking off a bucket list item. Last year, we ticked something from our bucket list – winning the World’s Leading Balloon Ride Operator title at the World Travel Awards for the third year in a row. We strive to deliver world-class and unforgettable hot air balloon rides to our guests. Thus, being named leaders in the industry emphasizes that we are on the right path. There are several elements that make a hot air balloon ride with us so unique. Starting with innovative safety measures, pilots with experience all over the world and in-flight falconry (when booking a private balloon). You also get treated to a traditional breakfast in a Bedouin camp, in 1950s Land Rovers.

We also managed to float above other operators in the region, taking home the award for Middle East’s Leading Balloon Ride Operator.

We hope to continue expanding on our current success. With lots of new exciting projects in the works, we will always ensure to keep guests wanting to see more. Experience more. And fly higher than before.
