Yes, hot air balloon rides are very safe. Our pilots are highly experienced and trained, and the equipment is regularly inspected to ensure the highest safety standards.

What should I wear for the hot air balloon ride?

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes. The desert can be cool in the early morning, so bringing a light jacket is a good idea.

Can children join the hot air balloon ride?

Yes, children aged 7 and above can join the hot air balloon ride. However, they must be accompanied by an adult. The ride is not recommended for children under 7 years old.

How long does the hot air balloon ride last?

The actual flight time is approximately 1 hour, but the entire experience, including pickup, pre-flight briefing, and drop-off, lasts about 4 hours.
