Details
Enjoy an unforgettable experience with our hot-air balloon flight over Marrakech. As the sun slowly rises over the horizon, you will enjoy a breathtaking view of the typical Moroccan landscapes, from the desert to the oases and even as far as the Atlas Mountains. Open your eyes wide and don't forget your camera to capture this moment forever in your memory.Take-off area
The 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.Flight facts
