The International Balloon Federation once ranked hot air balloons as the safest aircraft. Solely based on data, hot air balloons indeed exhibit a notably high safety coefficient.


The primary factor influencing global hot air balloon flights is weather. In December and January each year, the high-altitude winds in the Northern Hemisphere reach their peak, with speeds reaching up to 400 kilometers per hour, hence adventurers typically opt for winter for global flight attempts.


It is understood that there are approximately 20,000 hot air balloons worldwide. In developed countries like Europe and America, hot air ballooning is a popular sport, with balloon competitions or events almost daily. As the sport of hot air ballooning evolves, technological elements continuously integrate into the activity, reflected in the equipment used and theoretical-practical training for pilots, marking a qualitative leap.


As a recreational pursuit, hot air ballooning is increasingly popular, having once set a record for ascending 34,668 meters high. In Dubai, one of the most thrilling, harmonious, and romantic experiences is traversing vast desert oases aboard a hot air balloon, overlooking colossal dunes and camels below.


Passengers soar alongside falcons in the same sky, experiencing a unique aerial adventure. Various packages cater to romantic dates, corporate celebrations, or unforgettable family outings.


However, due to weather conditions, hot air balloon experiences in Dubai are not available during the summer. If one intends to ride a hot air balloon while visiting Dubai, it would likely have to be after October. Yet, a hot air balloon ride in Dubai is undeniably a special experience. It is undoubtedly one of the most luxurious and distinctive experiences globally.


They can take you safely through the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, soaring 1,200 meters above ground. Rising from the desert, flying over what seems like a golden carpet, providing a 360-degree panoramic view of the magnificent Dubai desert.


Taking a hot air balloon ride in the early morning, the balloon ascends with the sunrise, lasting for an hour. Witnessing the sunrise up close, marveling at the wonders of nature. The joy in one's heart rises with the sunlight, reaching out as if to touch the morning glow and white clouds.


The hot air balloon drifts with the desert winds, offering a breathtaking view of the rolling red dunes, sunrise, antelope pastures, and the majestic Hajar Mountains. The journey doesn't end upon landing, as you'll also ride a vintage open-top Land Rover from the 1950s to a genuine Bedouin camp where you can relax and enjoy a delicious breakfast.


Some local Arabs who indulge in falconry release well-trained falcons into the air. If you're brave enough, you can even attempt to interact closely with the falcons while aboard the hot air balloon. Such a spectacle can only be encountered in Dubai.
