If you’ve ever created a bucket list, a hot air balloon flight is probably right up the top! You can experience the Dubai desert like never before, with a premium hot air balloon morning from Hero Balloon Flights. For five consecutive years, they’ve proudly held the title of The World’s Leading Balloon Ride Operator at the World Travel Awards!

Your unforgettable day will be incredible from start to finish with luxury transport, spectacles to marvel over, incredible views, wildlife interactions, and a well-earned feast from a Michelin-starred chef. To top it off, as part of Hero Balloon Flights partnership with the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, they donate a portion of their earnings to desert wildlife and nature conservation.

But don’t just take our word for it… we asked fellow British mum, Lora, to experience one of the Hero Balloon Flights and here is what she had to say about it…

“The Hero Balloon Flights experience was truly unforgettable from start to finish. The collection from our front door in a Land Rover Defender made the early start super smooth and comfortable, which is just what you need when you are up at 4.30am. Upon arrival in the desert, we were able to enjoy a drone show under the stars while sipping on some Arabic coffee. We really enjoyed watching the balloon inflate whilst the sunlight was arriving, it was nice that there was a little chill in the air!

Once in the air, watching the sunrise over the Hajar Mountains was just magical, so calming and peaceful. A highlight for me was definitely meeting Suhail, the falcon! She lands in the corner of the basket so don’t stand in the corner if you are not a fan of birds.

After landing, we were taken to a private spot in the desert by an open-top vintage vehicle, which felt perfect in the morning sunshine. There, we were treated to a delicious breakfast designed by a Michelin Star chef, in a beautiful cabana. The staff were wonderful, so attentive, and after stuffing our faces we relaxed by a gorgeous little lake before heading back. This was a once-in-a-lifetime treat, and I can’t recommend it enough. Well worth the early start, it was the perfect way to celebrate my birthday and make beautiful memories. Perfect for any special occasion!”
