Take-off areaThe balloon always takes off from the
Marrakech palm grove, from our launch pad in
Ouled El Garne. The exact take-off time and the direction the balloon will take are decided on the day itself, depending on the weather conditions.
Flight programme- Before take-off:We will
pick you up directly from your accommodation at the agreed time, early in the morning. Our 4x4 will then take you to the take-off area, using some dirt tracks. On site, our team will
welcome you with a Moroccan tea, before you take your place in the basket. On board, you will be given a
safety briefing to ensure the flight goes as smoothly as possible. Then the balloon will gently take off.
- During the ride:The flight is scheduled to last
between 40 and 60 minutes and is divided into two parts: the first, at high altitude, will give you a panoramic view of the whole region; the second, at a lower altitude, will provide you with a more detailed view of the surrounding villages and farms as well as the Jbilet mountains.
- After landing:Once you are back on the ground, the 4x4 will take you back to the take-off area, where you can enjoy a
typical Berber breakfast prepared by the village women in the caidal tent. Then, after collecting your flight certificate, we will take you back to your accommodation.
