Float 4,000ft above the Arabian sands on a hot air balloon tour with Balloon Adventures Dubai. As the longest operating hot air balloon company in the city, with a staff of world-class pilots that have logged more than 60 years of flying experience, you'll be in safe hands as you glide above the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. The adventure starts at sunrise, followed by a serene hour-long flight that is worth the early wake-up.

Designed to evoke Dubai’s Bedouin heritage, Al Maha transports guests to another world. With stunning panoramic views and five-star amenities, the resort and spa blends the serenity of the desert with all the modern luxuries you could dream of. Al Maha, a Luxury Collection hotel, reveals a different side of the city to visitors through a number of experiences, such as dining among the dunes, gazing at the stars, camel trekking and catching a glimpse of an Arabian oryx or desert gazelle.
