About this activity
Start your experience with an early morning pickup by 4x4 vehicle from your Marrakech hotel and travel to the launch spot for your sunrise hot air balloon ride. Enjoy refreshments including pastries, coffee and tea as you watch your expert crew inflate the hot air balloon.
Then, step into the basket and take to the skies! Each basket holds a maximum of 16 people and there’s plenty of room for you to sightsee comfortably as you soar up and away. Soak up the serene desert landscape as your pilot takes you over the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains on a 40-50 minute flight (depending on wind and weather conditions).
After touching down at the base camp, head inside a tent with a view of the mountains to enjoy a freshly prepared Berber breakfast, including pancakes, corn bread, fruit, olives and mint tea. Follow your breakfast with a guided camel ride through the Palmeraie desert village surrounding the camp.
Before leaving, you’ll be presented with a flight certificate to commemorate your Marrakech hot air balloon experience. Then, travel by 4x4 vehicle back to your hotel in the late morning, allowing you to enjoy the rest of the day in Marrakech.

We loved this experience- watching the sunrise over the Atlas Mountains was just magical, it was very well organised from the moment we arranged where to be picked up. Highly recommend!
It was a very good experience. People that work there were professionals... The price was a bit high but still I enjoyed.
Amazing way to see this beautiful city and great alternative to a camel ride. Only criticism would be that the breakfast wasn't up to much so perhaps eat something beforehand.
What an amazing experience, from start to finish this trip will give you a lifetime of memories. From being picked up to being dropped off you will not be disappointed, the staff are funny and friendly, the balloon is magnificent, and the camels were clean, well looked after and loved selfies. Highly recommended.
Overall my husband of 36 years and I really enjoyed the tour. We are in Morocco celebrating our anniversary. Had we known we would be picked up from our Riad in an suv where we literally had to climb into the 3rd row, had we known we’d have to climb over and into the basket for the air balloon ride (which was amazing!), that we would be jostled back and forth in the suv as it took us off-road to where the balloon was, we may have chose another activity. My husband was in horrific pain all night and desperately wanted emergency care but was told there was none available. If you’re older or have health challenges, you may want to sit this one out.
Brilliant experience! Should definitely be on your to-do list in Marrakech!
Great morning out! Pick-up was easy and we were taken straight to camp where breakfast was provided. As the sun rises, you get to see the balloon inflated before jumping in for some break taking views over Marrakech. The camel ride was a great addition as well through the palm grove.
I thoroughly enjoyed the hot air balloon ride and the Berber breakfast. This was an unforgettable experience.
Everything worked out exactly as promised, from real early pickup, to refreshments, the flight and also the landing -, breakfast and camel ride. It was really nice to do the sunrise flight we were prepared, but some fellow passengers were not really: people: you need warm clothes for the early morning....very funny pilot,...
Unfortunately, the winds were to high the morning of my tour and I was unable to rebook due to flying out the next day. So I would book this early in your trip so you can rearrange your plans if it is a must do on your trip.
