Hot air balloon in Marrakech: sunrise flights over the countryside

Your day starts before sunrise. We collect you from your Marrakech hotel or riad between 04:30 and 05:30 and take you to the launch site, where the balloon is prepared as the sky starts to lighten. Once airborne, you drift for 45 to 60 minutes over the countryside around Marrakech, with the High Atlas range on the horizon on a clear morning.

After landing, you share a traditional Moroccan breakfast and receive a flight certificate. The whole experience, including the transfers, takes 3 to 4 hours, so you are back in Marrakech with most of the day still ahead of you.

The price is fixed at 1,200 MAD per person, with return transfers, breakfast and activity insurance included, so there is nothing extra to add on the day.

What to wear. It is cool before sunrise, so bring a warm layer you can take off once the sun is up, comfortable shoes and sunglasses.

Weather. Balloon flights depend on calm conditions. If we cancel a trip because of weather, you choose: a new date or a full refund.

Groups and families. Private trips are available for families, couples and groups, built around your dates and pace. Tell us your group size when you book.

Make a day of it. Pair the flight with an afternoon in the Agafay desert, a tandem paragliding flight, or a day in the mountains with our Imlil day trip.
