Activity Plan

Pre-Dawn Pickup and Launch Site Arrival :

The magical Marrakech Hot Air Balloon Ride by Luxury Tours in Morocco begins with a comfortable and personalized pickup in front of your accommodation. To start with we are going to drive about 45 minutes outside the city to the peaceful, dark desert launch site. The expectation is in this drive when the excitement of the early morning air is felt.

Then you come to the view of the amiable crew, who are ready to fill the gigantic balloons. They will instantly serve you a cup of hot coffee or the Moroccan mint tea and some light pastry. I never fail to be fascinated by the crew masterfully blowing up this huge, vivid fabric, it is an amazing, necessary aspect of the pre-flight show.

Takeoff and Floating Above the Atlas :

You are then given a brief word of caution and stepped into the spacious basket. Then the pilot skillfully jets the burner, and the balloon then leaves the ground with an incredible smooth and gentle ease. You start on your way up, when the first sliver of light shows up on the horizon which I find very peaceful.

Then, when you are floating up, the world becomes smaller and below you is a fantastic landscape of desert rocks, dried riverbeds, and Berber villages. The most awe-inspiring scene is the moment when the sun is shining behind the High Atlas snow-capped mountains, which fill the scene with golden light. Your pilot identifies features, tells tales, and this one-hour flight will be the highlight of your luxury tours Marrakech experience.

Post-Flight Celebration and Berber Breakfast :

The ground crew is fast in assisting you out of the ship following a safe and gentle landing. To start with, we honor this incredible air accomplishment with a vintage post-flight drink: champagne or fresh juice, according to your selection. A personalized flight certificate is also provided to you which is an ideal souvenir to your Marrakech Hot Air Balloon Ride.

We then drive a little further to a small traditional Berber tent. Here, there is an abounding, natural Berber breakfast. You eat freshly baked bread, classic harcha (pan-fried semolina cakes), olives, Honey and loads of hot mint tea. This is a personal experience with the local culture, as you are able to share this meal which is also a warm meal that sums up your sunrise tour.
