Free cancellation up to 48 hours before flight
Overview
Pickup is around 04:30, which sounds punishing and is worth it. You reach the launch site in darkness, watch the envelopes inflate, and lift off as the horizon turns. From 1,200 metres the dunes read as long parallel ridges and oryx and gazelle are visible moving below — the flight crosses a protected reserve, so the wildlife is genuinely wild. Landing is followed by a falconry display and breakfast. Flights are weather-dependent and cancelled outright if wind is wrong.
