Overview
The Premium is our top-tier hot air balloon package in Dubai at AED 1399 per person, covering a 45-60 minute sunrise flight over the desert that's always weather-dependent, free hotel pickup between 3:45 and 4:30 AM, a flight certificate, a gourmet breakfast in camp with a camel ride and a falconry display, a morning desert safari with dune bashing, and a 30-minute quad biking session, before drop-off back at your hotel between 10:15 and 11:00 AM.
Compared with our Standard Package (AED 1049) and Deluxe Package (AED 1149), Premium is the only tier that folds in the falconry show, a full desert safari run and the quad bike segment on top of the flight and breakfast, so it suits guests who want one long morning that covers the balloon ride and a taste of ground-level desert adventure without booking two separate tours.

Safety & requirements
- Open to adults aged 12-80 flying as standard guests; children aged 7-11 may join accompanied by an adult, with no seat for younger children or infants
- Flights are weather-dependent — the pilot makes the go/no-go call on wind and visibility, and any postponed flight is rebooked to the next available morning
- Dress in warm layers for the pre-dawn pickup; temperatures climb quickly once the sun is up and once the safari and quad segments get you moving
- Landing requires standing and a slight knee bend in the basket, so guests with mobility or heart conditions should check with us before booking
Balloon flights pause each summer (June – August) for safety. Booking reopens from 1 September, and we'll help you pick a morning as soon as flights resume.
Questions About This Tour
What happens if my hot air balloon flight is cancelled for weather?
A rough or hazy morning simply pushes your flight to the next available date, with no extra charge — weather is the pilot's call, not yours to worry about. That decision typically lands the night before or a few hours ahead, and we message you the moment it's confirmed.
What should I wear for an early morning balloon flight in Dubai?
Layers. Pickup is before dawn and desert mornings can feel close to freezing at that hour, so a jacket over a t-shirt works well since the temperature climbs fast once the sun is up and the safari and quad segments get you moving.
What's the minimum age to fly on the Hot Air Balloon Premium Package?
Adults aged 12 to 80 fly as standard guests, and children aged 7 to 11 can join accompanied by an adult. There isn't a seat for younger children or infants on the balloon.
Do I need to book the desert safari separately, or is it part of this package?
No separate booking needed. The morning desert safari with dune bashing and the 30-minute quad biking session are already built into this AED 1399 Premium package, alongside the balloon flight and breakfast.
What's the difference between the Premium, Deluxe and Standard balloon packages?
Premium at AED 1399 is our top tier and the only one that adds the falconry display, a morning desert safari and a 30-minute quad biking session on top of the flight and breakfast. Deluxe (AED 1149) and Standard (AED 1049) are lighter, lower-priced versions of the same sunrise flight.
Does the Premium package fly every day of the year?
No. Balloon flights pause each summer, roughly June through August, because high heat and shifting winds make safe flying difficult. Booking reopens from 1 September and we help you pick a morning once flights resume.
