    Full description

    Discover Morocco from the perspective of a hot air balloon. Embark on this thrilling ride above the Palm Grove of Marrakech and its surrounding landscape to see a bird's eye view of the area. Round off your experience with a cup of fresh mint tea and visit to a local Berber house.

    Just one hour away from the legendary Jemaa El Fna Square, fly in a hot-air balloon over the beautiful countryside, seeing the amazing contrast between Morocco’s urban and rural areas. After an early morning pickup from your hotel in Marrakech, sit back and relax on the 45-minute drive out of the city to the balloon launch site. Here, receive a full pre-flight safety briefing and have a chance to watch the launch team prepare the balloon for departure. Once in the air, cover a distance between 9 and 15 miles (15 to 25 kilometers), depending on the wind speed, taking you over a local village and the picturesque surrounding areas. The flight will last one hour, and after a gradual descent back to land, head to a local village for mint tea and home-baked bread in a local Berber household. Following tea and bread, head back to Marrakech.

      Fabulous trip from start to finish. Flight was smooth and the pilot professional and reassuring. The view was stunning and the landing expertly executed. Great to know it was fully insured and a qualified licences pilot was in charge. On return we were given a lovely breakfast. Well worth the price. Highly recommended.

      Wonderful hospitality. Excellent experience over the desert to watch the sunrise from behind the Atlas mountains. Only complaint I have is that I wish we had been informed of the size of our party so that we could have been in a balloon with a smaller basket so that we could have risen to a higher altitude than ours.

      We are very happy with our experience and our driver Hamada who picked us up from our hotel. He was very helpful and answered all questions we had. I went there with my mum and grandparents. The men who worked with he balloon helped my grandparents get in and out of the balloon basket by lifting them up. I truly recommend it!
