Activity Details

Can you imagine seeing the amazing landscapes of Al-Ula from the air? Your wish is our command! Early in the morning, before sunrise, we'll pick you up from your hotel and take you on an experience you'll never forget.

We'll venture into the heart of the Saudi Arabian desert and travel to the takeoff point. Upon arrival, we'll fill up on coffee and dates and explain the safety rules you need to know before climbing into the baskets.

Meanwhile, we'll witness the mesmerizing process of inflating the hot air balloon, in which we'll see how the colorful fabrics begin to fill with hot air. Once everything is ready, we'll climb into the baskets and begin this unforgettable journey.

Before you know it, we'll be floating at an altitude of over 1,200 m (3,937 ft). From this perfect place, we'll see the incredible formations that characterize the Al-Ula desert, including the Elephant Rock and the Jar Rock, some of Saudi Arabia's most incredible natural wonders.

After an hour of ballooning over Al-Ula, the most exciting moment will arrive: the landing! Once we touch down, we'll climb out of the basket and return to your hotel, where we'll say goodbye three hours later.
