Floating Across the Desert in a Hot Air Balloon in Dubai

There’s something magical about watching a sunrise in the desert. Especially if you’re in a balloon gently floating by at 400 metres off the ground. The skies turn a beautiful pinkish orange and the views become more ethereal as you move further into the desert. No more trucks or people. Just endless stretches of sand dunes. A lone camel saunters off into the distance, a gazelle darts across leaving its tiny hoof prints in the sand. Soak in the moment and enjoy the high.
