Dont miss out on a Hot Air Balloon experience in Dubai

We booked this via Hero Hot Air Balloon with Falcon and Fine Dining Breakfast. It was the best experience. First of all our flight got delayed. Hero / Platinum worked with us to reschedule our booking to another day. We got picked up. Very responsive and very prompt. Our Guide/Driver Maher was amazing. Very friendly, informative and took really good care of us. Our Captain Andrew for the Hot air Balloon was funny and friendly and was very experienced. The Falconer Lushano was also amazing and very experienced. He taught us a lot about falcons. The server at the fine dining Ramsi was very attentive and friendly. But main shout out to Maher. Took us from our hotel and brought us back there. Definitely and highly recommend this company.

Exceptional Private Falconry Experience

A very special experience, made extra special by our guide, Abdul. Early morning arrival into the reserve, seeing the sun rise, and having our private falconry and owl interaction. Khaya was extremely knowledgeable as the falconer and we had the opportunity to interact with four different species. Thereafter a sumptuous breakfast, beautifully curated and served in our own private pod. Finished off with a desert safari to see gazelles and Oryx. An amazing experience overall.

Experience with raptors in the desert

Luchano and Lionel We had some unforgettable moments this morning and had the chance, as a retired professional falconer , to visit the falconry and discover a beautifully held place and share Luchano's passion for these wonderful birds. Everything was perfect, the kindness of our guide , breakfast in a beautiful hotel and especially the calm and charm of the desert. Thank you for these beautiful memories
