Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, Dubai-Al Ain Road - Exit 50, 118887 United Arab Emirates

Stop At: Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, Dubai-Al Ain Road - Exit 50, 118887 United Arab Emirates

Pose for a photo in the sand dunes as the sun goes down, then enjoy a falconry display and relax with an Arabic coffee as dancers perform to traditional Emirati music. Perhaps smoke a shisha pipe (Arabic water pipe), get a henna tattoo, or try the traditional mode of Bedouin transport – a camel. Then take a seat at the shared table for a 4-course feast beneath the stars. Traditional Emirati dishes, which combine flavors from the Middle East, will set you taste buds alive.

Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve, Dubai-Al Ain Road - Exit 50, 118887 United Arab Emirates

Early the next morning your guide will escort you to the hot air balloon site, only a few minutes from your camp. After a safety briefing, climb inside the basket of the balloon with an experienced pilot at the controls and feel your adrenaline race as you drift upward.
As you rise higher, marvel at the awesome sunrise views as your pilot shares interesting facts about the geology and wildlife of the Dubai Desert Conservation Reserve. See falcons flying up to 4,000 feet above the earth from the Balloon and, down below, animals such as gazelle and camels roaming around the reserve. After approximately 1-hour in the air, enjoy a smooth touchdown and step back on to solid ground ready for a gourmet breakfast back at the Heritage Camp. If you wish, you can buy a professional video of your flight (own expense) so you can relive the experience at home.
After a Gourmet breakfast a minibus will take you back to your hotel in Dubai, where the tour ends.

We booked the package with dinner in the desert, astronomy lecture, overnight stay in the desert and balloon tour at sunrise. The whole experience was very well planned and arranged. The pickup from the hotel was well managed with several emails and confirmations. The food choices were given to us in advance and the pickup and drop-off were very convenient. The food was amazing, maybe a little too much food, as we couldn't finish the desert after the astronomy hour at around midnight. The astronomy lecture with "Eddy the astronomer" is very recommendable. Very entertainingly he showed us the most interesting and beautiful spots in the sky. This lecture will be different every night, as there are different constellations and things to see during the year. Which makes every experience unique. The most amazing part of the tour by far was the Balloon ride at sunrise. Very professional Captains Andrew and Vytas, incredible views and a little adventure, as you don't know exactly where you will land. ALthough expensive, it is worth the money! Our guide Harish, who stayed with us during the whole experience took very well care of us, adding to the experience with a few anekdotes about the city and the country. In all, very recommendable experience. Thank you!

My son and I went on the amazing heritage sunrise balloon adventure, it was all ran superbly, from picking us up at the hotel to the balloon and back. Richard our captain was brilliant. The hospitality at the camp was amazing also being so up close to a peregrine falcon and the camel ride. The person that made it extra special was our host for the morning, Ronald! He was absolutely amazing full of enthusiasm and so informative about everything we asked him, a great sense of humour and a real gentleman. Thank you Platinum Heritage and Ronald for the memorable morning 😊

Everything was great except for one issue. We enjoyed our guide, and I wish the evening safari was longer (it wasn’t particularly exciting, but it was very relaxing!). The food at the camp, both for dinner and breakfast, was delicious and plentiful. My family had a great time. The only negative was another family who stayed overnight in the room next to us - they had little kids who did not stop talking or screaming all night, and I couldn’t sleep. Not Platinum Heritage’s fault, but just a negative. As I mentioned, everything else was fantastic, especially the balloon ride in the morning.
