Best Time for Hot Air Balloon Ride
Hot air balloon rides are only available from September to May in Dubai, so it is already the best time of the year in the UAE. However, you can still choose what suits you best.
-
Weekday vs. Weekend
If you prefer a calmer and more personalised hot air balloon experience, weekdays are the best choice. There are fewer crowds, making it easier to book and more peaceful in the air. On the other hand, weekends are busier, with higher demand, so it’s smart to secure your spot well in advance.
-
Peak Season vs. Low Season
The peak season for balloon flights is from November to March, when the weather is pleasant and demand is at its highest. During this time, tickets sell out quickly, so advance booking is essential. The shoulder months: April, May, and September, are considered low season. Due to challenging weather conditions, flights are limited or unavailable.
Before Balloon Flight
Check-in & Safety Briefing
You’ll arrive at the launch site (or be picked up early in the morning, usually before sunrise). The pilot and crew will welcome you and share important safety instructions, including landing positions and what to expect during the flight.
Weather Confirmation
Since ballooning depends on calm winds and clear skies, the pilot checks weather conditions like wind speed, direction, and visibility. If it’s not safe to fly, the trip may be delayed or rescheduled.
Preparing the Balloon
The crew spreads the giant balloon across the ground. Powerful fans blow cold air inside to inflate it, and then the burners fire up, slowly heating the air until the balloon rises upright—an exciting moment to watch.
Boarding the Basket
Once the balloon is ready, the ground crew steadies the basket as you climb in with the pilot’s guidance. Final safety tips are given to make sure everyone is comfortable and prepared.
Final Checks
The pilot tests the burners, ensures everything is secure, and confirms communication with the chase team that will follow on the ground.
Takeoff
With a burst of heated air, the balloon gently lifts off the ground. The crew waves goodbye as you float smoothly into the sky, while the chase vehicle follows to meet you after landing.
