Wr had great time with Sindbad Balloons. The coordination was perfect and the experience was surreal. We were given clear instructions before and during the tour. All arrangements including pickup, drop off and the hot air balloon ride were on time. Our pilot Mr. Abdallah is expert in his role and knowledgeable about the entire process. We were given clear and conside briefings about the entire hot air balloon ride and were helped thoroughly by entire staff. We highly recommend taking this adventure.

We very much enjoyed our morning hot air balloon ride above the Dubai desert. The communication was good leading up to the excursion, coordinating pickup time from our hotel, and giving us info about what to bring, expect, etc. It starts awfully early in the morning, but in my opinion, it's worth it to experience this beautiful, peaceful trip, and to see the sunrise from the sky. Our driver, the hot air balloon captain, and all the support staff were excellent. Very friendly & helpful and our driver got some great videos for us! Fair warning: It is definitely chilly in the desert bevor the sun comes up, so bring your jacket and warm clothing even if it doesn't feel cold at your hotel in Dubai city.

Der Fahrer hat uns pünktlich abgeholt. Zur Begrüßung gab es Tee und Kaffee. Die Flugkapitäne haben alles erklärt, sogar auf deutsch. Dann der Flug in die aufgehende Sonne. Soooo schön
