As you glide gently through the beautiful Dubai desert in a hot air balloon, take in the sights and sounds of the city. All balloon trips begin shortly before sunrise, so get up early and go for a drive early in the morning to catch a glance at the natural splendor that surrounds you. Before the trip begins, you will be given a pre-flight briefing prior to boarding the basket and gliding across the enormous expanse of Dubai's desert. As soon as the balloon lifts off, you'll be enthralled. The wind will float you serenely across the beautiful flora and fauna of Dubai.
