From intimate couple experiences to action-packed desert adventures, we've curated the top 5 hot air balloon deals in Dubai that offer incredible value and unforgettable moments. Here's everything you need to know to choose the right experience for your desert dream.
1. Couple Deal - AED 1,299 (Per Couple)
This exclusive package is designed for couples seeking a romantic desert adventure together. You'll enjoy hotel pickup and drop-off anywhere in Dubai, unlimited tea, coffee, and water at the takeoff location, a 45-60 minute flight over the Arabian Desert, and personalized Flying Experience Certificates signed by the pilot for both guests.
Perfect for anniversaries, proposals, or simply creating unforgettable memories with your loved one (Additional charges will apply based on custom demand). Experience the magic of floating above the golden dunes at sunrise while sharing this intimate adventure together.
Choose this package if you're looking for a romantic desert experience at exceptional value for two.
2. Classic Package - AED 799 (Adults) | AED 749 (Children)
This package covers all the essentials for a hot air balloon experience. You get hotel pickup and drop-off anywhere in Dubai, unlimited tea, coffee, and water at the takeoff location, a 45-60 minute flight over the Arabian Desert, and a personalized Flying Experience Certificate signed by the pilot.
It's straightforward and focuses entirely on the flight itself. Perfect if you want the pure ballooning experience without additional activities, or if you're working with a specific budget but don't want to miss out on this incredible adventure.
This package gives you the core experience: floating above the desert at sunrise.
3. Majestic Package - AED 999 (Adults) | AED 899 (Children)
The Majestic Package includes everything from the Classic option plus some wonderful additions. After your flight, you'll enjoy a gourmet breakfast at a desert camp, take a 10-minute camel ride, and have photo opportunities with falcons.
These extras add cultural depth to the experience. The breakfast gives you time to relax and soak in the morning, the camel ride connects you to traditional desert travel, and the falcon encounter introduces you to an important part of Arabian heritage. It's a nice balance between the balloon adventure and authentic cultural experiences.
Choose this if you want your balloon ride complemented by traditional Arabian touches. Great option to explore the UAE desert experience with your family.
4. Royal Package - AED 1,550 (Adults) | AED 1,450 (Children)
This is the adventure-packed option. Along with the balloon flight, you get a gourmet buffet breakfast, then the real action begins: 10-15 minutes of quad biking across the dunes, 15-20 minutes of dune bashing in a 4x4, a 5-10 minute camel ride, and falcon photos.
It's designed for people who want variety and excitement. You experience the peaceful side of the desert from above, then get your adrenaline pumping with ground activities. Everything happens in one morning, making it efficient for travelers who want to pack multiple desert experiences into their trip.
Go for this package if you love adventure and want the complete desert thrill package.
5. Twilight Overnight Package - AED 1,950 (Adults) | AED 1,850 (Children)
This two-day experience is completely different from the others. It starts with private pickup in the afternoon, followed by dune bashing and arrival at a traditional desert camp. You're welcomed with tea, coffee, dates, and Arabic sweets. The evening includes camel rides, falcon photos, henna painting, live entertainment with belly dancing, Tanura dance, and fire shows, plus a BBQ buffet dinner. You then spend the night at the camp under the stars.
The next morning at 4:00 AM, you head to the balloon launch site for your sunrise flight, followed by a gourmet breakfast before being dropped back at your hotel.
What sets this apart is the pacing. You're not rushing through activities. You experience the desert at different times—afternoon, evening, night, and dawn. You see how it transforms from sunset to sunrise, and you get genuine immersion in the Bedouin experience rather than just a quick visit.
This package is for travelers who want to truly experience the desert, not just see it.
