The experience

Marrakech from a thousand metres up

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.

What you'll see

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.

After you land

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.
