About this tour

This balloon flight starts very early: we pick you up before dawn and drive to the take-off area north of the Marrakech palm grove, in the Jbilet area, so you are in the air as the first light comes up. From above you see the landscapes around the city and, in the distance, the Atlas Mountains.

The flight lasts between 50 minutes and an hour, depending on the weather, in a balloon shared with other travellers. Afterwards there is a Berber breakfast in a caidal tent and you receive a flight certificate.

The whole activity takes about 5 hours, from roughly 5:30 to 10:00, so you are back in Marrakech with the rest of the day free.
