Hot Air Balloon and Desert Safari Combo
About This Experience
The desert from above and on the ground. Start with a sunrise hot air balloon flight over the dunes, with a falcon show and breakfast after landing. Then, on the same day or another day, come back to the desert for an evening safari with dune bashing, sandboarding, a camel ride, BBQ dinner and live shows. It is the complete Dubai desert experience, and it costs less than booking the balloon flight and safari separately.
