    Beautifull morning sunrise!!

    It was lovely. So well organized. All the workers made us feel comfortable and helped us get in the basket easily.Pickup was on time.Captain was a true pro and a gave us good explanations of what we were seeing. He explained about how the currents affected the direction of the balloon and that was interesting as well! Great value! I did it with my 16 year old son and he loved it! Would recommend this to anyone!

    ALMOST LOST MY LIFE😱

    No safety measures, overbooked, not experienced pilot,windy day but still took off,shame on you,you should be banned from operating, I nearly lost my life!!! Trapped under the basket after a really bad landing,my head almost buried in the sand,nightmare experience,my hand severey crushed, lost my finger and part of my palm.Also shame on Dubai authorities for trying to COVER EVERYTHING UP,nothing on the news,noone said anything....We were made to delete videos of the tragedy by the police.A big cover up and the company still operating !!!!! I thought Dubai is a respectable country.....NO..... If you are a EU resident and you would like to appeal our decision, click here You can review your appeal options here

    Response from the operator: Dear Sir. We would like to draw to your kind attention that we are "Tripline Tourism", the incident you mentioned belong to "Balloon Flight LLC" where the accident happens, and their flights are on hold until further notice. We request you to move your review to the correct supplier and from our side we can offer our sympathy. Thanks

    Hot Air Balloon Ride in Dubai with Free Transport and Breakfast: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.

    How much does Hot Air Balloon Ride in Dubai with Free Transport and Breakfast cost?

    +

    Prices start at $278 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Hot Air Balloon Ride in Dubai with Free Transport and Breakfast take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dubai is not rushed.

    Is Hot Air Balloon Ride in Dubai with Free Transport and Breakfast worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dubai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Hot Air Balloon Ride in Dubai with Free Transport and Breakfast?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Hot Air Balloon Ride in Dubai with Free Transport and Breakfast suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Hot Air Balloon Ride in Dubai with Free Transport and Breakfast?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dubai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dubai and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Hot Air Balloon Ride in Dubai with Free Transport and Breakfast start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dubai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Dubai?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Dubai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubai Premium Red Dunes Safari, Camels & 5* BBQ at Al Khayma Camp, Dubai: Red Dunes Safari, Quad, Camel, Dune Bash, BBQ & Shows, Dubai Evening Desert Safari Dune Bashing, BBQ Dinner & Live Shows. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Dubai?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Dubai?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Hot Air Balloon Ride in Dubai with Free Transport and Breakfast?

    +

    Included: Hot air Balloon ride; Entry to the Camp; Transfer by 4x4 Car; Morning Refreshment Tea, Coffee, Qahwa, and dates; and Archery Experience at the Camp. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Hot Air Balloon Ride in Dubai with Free Transport and Breakfast include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 944 listed pickup locations in and around Dubai. Be ready about 45 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Hot Air Balloon Ride in Dubai with Free Transport and Breakfast offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Hot Air Balloon Ride in Dubai with Free Transport and Breakfast?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Hot Air Balloon Ride in Dubai with Free Transport and Breakfast wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers; and Pregnant Woman will not be allowed to fly. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Hot Air Balloon Ride in Dubai with Free Transport and Breakfast if the weather is bad?

    +
