Sunrise Royal Balloon Ascent

Overview

The desert is at its most beautiful in the twenty minutes after sunrise, and this is the only way to see it properly. Your party takes a private basket compartment for a one-hour float over the Al Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve, drifting above oryx and gazelle herds as the dunes turn from violet to gold. On landing, a falcon is flown from the basket edge — a DuneGo signature — before a gourmet breakfast is served at a dressed table in the sand.

Highlights

• Private basket compartment for your party
• One hour airborne above the Al Marmoom reserve
• Signature falcon flight from the basket on landing
• Gourmet dune breakfast at a fully dressed table
