What You Can Expect 

Enjoy a ride in a 4x4 vehicle! Start your experience by being picked up in a 4x4 car from your hotel in Marrakech. After about a 40-minute drive from downtown Marrakech, you arrive at the airfield where you are served Moroccan tea. You will see the preparation of the balloons flying that morning for about 20 minutes. All balloons are green and red (colors of Morocco), and purchased new from the factory (no old advertising balloons or used ones finishing their lives in Africa). You board, receive a short security briefing, and take off. First part of the flight is at high altitude to have an overview of all the areas: Jbilet Mountains, Marrakech, and the Atlas mountains behind. Second part of the flight is at low altitude over typical villages, farms, kids going to school, valleys, etc. After 1 hour of flight, you land and get picked up by the 4x4 cars. You are driven through the ''Moroccan bush'' to the caidal tent where you are served a typical Berber breakfast. You will then get your flight certificate and get driven back to your residential place in Marrakech!
