The experience then continues with a buffet breakfast at the Bedouin camp before your private transfer back.

Safety & Passenger Requirements
Safety is an essential part of the Premium hot air balloon experience. All passengers must attend the pre-flight safety briefing and follow the instructions provided by the pilot and crew throughout boarding, flight and landing. The current package information also states that the experience is operated with licensed pilots and safety procedures in place.
Pre-Flight Safety Briefing
A pre-flight orientation is required before boarding. Pay close attention to the briefing and follow the crew’s instructions throughout the experience.
Follow Pilot & Crew Instructions
Follow the crew’s instructions during boarding, flight and landing. Do not lean on the basket and maintain the required position and order during the flight.
Weather & Flight Conditions
Hot air balloon flights depend on suitable weather and wind conditions. If conditions are not appropriate for safe operation, the flight schedule may need to change.
Age Requirements
The current Premium page states that children below 5 years cannot participate and passengers under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
There is currently a conflict on the page regarding the maximum age: the main restrictions section says over 70, while the Child Policy says over 80. Since you are aligning this site-wide, use the confirmed operator rule once verified rather than publishing both figures.
Weight Requirement
The current Premium page states that guests weighing more than 130 kg cannot participate. This should remain consistent with the operator’s current requirement.
Medical Restrictions
The current page lists heart conditions, back or knee problems, recent injuries and certain physical or mental disabilities among the restrictions. Anyone with a relevant medical or physical concern should confirm eligibility before booking.
Pregnancy Restrictions
Pregnant passengers are listed as unable to participate in the current Premium package information.
Alcohol and Drugs
Passengers under the influence of alcohol or drugs are not permitted to participate.
Boarding & Physical Requirements
Passengers should be physically able to board the balloon and remain standing during the flight. The experience involves additional desert activities after landing, so comfortable clothing and practical footwear are recommended.
For detailed passenger questions and booking conditions, visit our Frequently Asked Questions page.
What to Wear and Bring
Your Premium experience starts early in the morning and includes both a balloon flight and several desert activities. Dress comfortably so you can move easily and stay comfortable throughout the experience.
What to Wear
- Comfortable clothing suitable for outdoor activities
- Closed-toe, comfortable footwear
- A light jacket or warm layer for the early morning
- Clothing that allows easy movement during the desert activities
- Sunglasses and sun protection for after sunrise
What to Bring
- Phone or camera for photographs
- Water bottle
- Sunglasses
- Sunscreen
- Required identification or travel documents
- Any essential personal medication
What to Avoid
Avoid high heels, flowy clothing and uncomfortable footwear. The current package information also advises against carrying large luggage, heavy items and sharp or flammable objects.
Because Premium includes dune bashing, camel riding and quad biking, practical clothing and comfortable footwear are especially important.
Best Time for a Premium Hot Air Balloon Dubai Experience
The best time for a Premium hot air balloon experience is during the cooler months, particularly from October to March. The current Premium package operates from October to May, subject to suitable weather and flying conditions.
Sunrise Is the Best Time of Day
Premium flights take place early in the morning around sunrise. The cooler early-morning conditions, softer light and calm desert atmosphere make this an ideal time to enjoy the balloon flight and take photographs.
October to March
October through March is generally the most comfortable period for a Dubai hot air balloon experience. Temperatures are more pleasant, making it easier to enjoy both the balloon flight and the desert activities included with Premium.
October to May Operating Season
The current Premium package lists October to May as its operating season. Availability remains dependent on the operating schedule and suitable weather conditions.
Weather Can Affect Your Flight
Hot air ballooning depends on suitable wind and weather conditions. If conditions are not suitable for safe operation, the flight or itinerary may need to be delayed, rescheduled or adjusted.
Plan Your Morning Accordingly
Because Premium includes a sunrise balloon flight followed by dune bashing, camel riding, quad biking and breakfast, allow enough time for the complete experience rather than scheduling another early-morning activity immediately afterward.
For the best combination of comfortable weather, sunrise scenery and desert activities, the cooler months are generally the strongest choice for booking a Premium hot air balloon experience.
