A beautiful, stunning landscape, but expensive
The hot air balloon ride was an incredible experience. The views were stunning, and the staff was fantastic, making us feel safe and comfortable. The ride over the desert at sunrise was peaceful, and we got some amazing photos. However, I have to admit that the price is quite high. While it was worth it for the memories, it might not fit everyone’s budget. Still, I’d say it’s worth considering a unique adventure in Marrakech.
A Magical Sunrise Over the Moroccan Desert
What an amazing way to start the day! The team picked us up early in the morning and drove us to the launch site, where they set up the balloon. Watching the sunrise over the Agafay desert while floating high above the ground was surreal. The whole experience was smooth and relaxing, and the pilot was very knowledgeable, giving us a wonderful panoramic view of the area. The breakfast afterward was delicious and a wonderful way to round off the morning. I would do it again!
Worth Every Penny!
This was by far the highlight of our trip to Morocco! The hot air balloon ride was smooth and safe, and the views of the desert and mountains at sunrise were simply magical. The staff was welcoming and helpful, and we felt well cared for from start to finish. Although the experience is pricier, it’s worth it for the unforgettable memories. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Marrakech!
A once-in-a-lifetime experience
I had always dreamed of seeing Marrakech from the sky, and this hot air balloon ride did not disappoint. The flight was peaceful, and the views were breathtaking.
We flew over the stunning Atlas Mountains, and the desert landscape looked amazing as the sun rose. The pilots were professional and friendly, making sure we were all comfortable and answering any questions we had. The post-flight breakfast was a helpful touch, and it was lovely to meet some of the other travelers. It’s an experience I’ll never forget!
Unforgettable adventure and professional team!
My expectations were exceeded by the hot air balloon adventure in Marrakech! The entire operation was well organized, from the timely pickup at my hotel to the smooth flight. The crew was very professional, and I felt completely safe throughout the entire journey.
The sunrise over the desert was magical, and I loved seeing the local villages from above. It felt like we were floating in a dream! We enjoyed a traditional Moroccan breakfast with hot drinks and fresh pastries after landing. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Marrakech!
