Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Flight over Marrakech
About this tour
Watch the sun rise from the sky. After an early pickup you'll sip tea and coffee while the balloon is inflated, then lift off for about an hour, drifting up to roughly 750 metres above palm groves, villages and the stony desert, with the Atlas peaks lit up in pink and gold.
After landing, a traditional Berber breakfast is served in a tent and you receive a flight certificate. Pilots are certified and fully insured. Private baskets and proposal set-ups can be arranged.
