Licensed Moroccan DMC · Fès & Casablanca
Lift off at sunrise and drift above the Palmeraie, Berber villages and the snow-capped High Atlas. Your certified pilot handles the flight; we handle the private transfer, the Berber breakfast in a traditional tent and the ride back to your riad.
It starts in the dark. A private car collects you from your hotel or riad and heads out of the sleeping city towards the launch site, where the crew is already firing up the burners and the balloon slowly rises off the ground in the half-light.
Then the sun comes up over the High Atlas. For 45 to 60 minutes you float in near silence above the Palmeraie, scattered Berber villages and the ochre plains, with the snow-capped peaks on one side and the red city on the other.
Panoramic views of Marrakech, the Palmeraie and the Atlas Mountains, scenic valleys, desert landscapes and local villages, all in golden sunrise light that photographers wait all year for.
Back on the ground, a traditional Berber breakfast is waiting in a tent: fresh msemen, honey, olives and mint tea, along with your flight certificate. Then your driver takes you back to Marrakech with the rest of the day still ahead of you.
Your driver collects you from your hotel or riad in an air-conditioned vehicle and drives you to the launch site just outside the city.
Meet your pilot, watch the crew inflate the balloon and get a short safety briefing with tea.
Rise over the Palmeraie with views across Marrakech and the Atlas Mountains as the sun comes up.
Celebrate with a traditional breakfast in a Berber tent and receive your flight certificate.
Private transfer back to your accommodation.
Warm layers (desert mornings are cold, especially in winter), closed comfortable shoes, a hat, sunglasses and your camera.
Children are welcome when accompanied by an adult. Pilots set a minimum height and age for safety; tell us your children’s ages when booking.
Free cancellation up to 48h before departure. If the flight is cancelled for weather, we’ll rebook you or refund you in full.
Pickup is early in the morning, timed to the sunrise. We confirm the exact time the day before your flight.
Safety comes first. The pilot decides on the morning based on wind and visibility; if the flight can’t go ahead, you’re offered another date or a full refund.
