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.

Covering 225 square kilometres, it takes up approximately five per cent of the total land in Dubai and is fenced off to shield the flora and fauna that naturally inhabit the area.
