Take off from the Jbilets foothills to the North of Marrakech and rise above the city as it wakes up from the shadow of the Atlas. Witness the sunrise on the horizon to better discover a lunar landscape in the morning stillness and admire the contrasting views between snowy peaks and arid lands. Spend a unique, humbling and enriching moment halfway between heaven and earth, so far yet so close to Marrakech.
This early morning experiment was designed to be shared as a special moment for two or smaller groups, please be sure to contact us well in advance for larger groups to ensure availability. As the saying go: the early bird gets the view!
From take off to ‘kiss landing ‘, enjoy the grandeur of Marrakech and its surroundings in a full up and down 360 degrees landscape which reveals itself openly to you from a balloon. The flight is not considered an extreme experience, but rather, it is a gentle, contemplative moment, with little to no dizziness.
Our team of rigorous and methodical pilots welcome you with mint tea of course!
For those with a sweet tooth, we offer a royal flight, just for you, in private, with a luxury breakfast served aboard by your very own pilot ... What more could you ask for?
Discover Marrakech from the sky with our hot air balloon tours! A unique and exceptional way to discover the red city, by taking a little height thanks to our balloon flights. Magical moments that you will never forget.
Go early in the morning to admire the sunrise behind the Atlas Mountains, in the sounds of hot air balloon burners. Climb gently to the sky and enjoy a panoramic view of breathtaking landscapes: the Jbilets stone desert, Marrakech and its sublime architecture, the small Berber villages, the Atlas Mountains in the background (and its snowy peaks during winter)…
The activity lasts a total of half a day, and the flight itself lasts about an hour (depending on weather conditions) and will offer you an amazing view of the surroundings of Marrakech. You will then enjoy a tea break under a Berber tent in the desert before heading back to the red city. A magical experience, to do at least once in a lifetime!
Equipped with a fleet of 13 hot air balloons of different capacities, we can accommodate both private tours of 2 people and groups of more than 50 people! For any special request, contact us ☺
