Lift off at dawn from the plains north of Marrakech and watch the Atlas Mountains glow with the first light of the day. Our hot air balloon ride in Marrakech includes hotel pickup, an experienced English- and French-speaking pilot, a flight certificate, and a private rooftop Berber breakfast under the balloons.
Marrakech is one of the few places in the world where you can drift silently above a desert plain, palm groves and Berber villages while the sun rises behind the Atlas Mountains. The flight is calm, the basket is stable, and the views are very different from a 4x4 or a quad tour — most travellers say it's the highlight of their trip to Morocco.
Pickup from your riad or hotel in Marrakech around 5:00–5:30am · transfer to the launch site (about 45 minutes) · safety briefing and inflation show · 45 to 60 minutes of flight over the plains · official flight certificate · traditional Moroccan breakfast on a private rooftop · return to your hotel by mid-morning.
We fly almost year-round, weather permitting. Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) offer the clearest skies and most comfortable temperatures. Winter mornings are crisp and the Atlas is often snow-capped — bring a warm layer. Summer flights happen earlier to take advantage of cooler air.
Choose your date, the number of adults and children, and add a pickup address. You'll receive an instant confirmation by email. We confirm the exact pickup time the evening before, based on the season and your hotel's location. You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund.
