O que você realmente verá.
Embora o visual seja impressionante, o foco permanece na realidade: dunas protegidas, a luz do nascer do sol, a vida selvagem nativa e a escala tranquila da reserva.
Campos de dunas douradas
O deserto muda de cor minuto a minuto, de um rosa suave antes do nascer do sol a âmbar assim que a cesta sobe.
Vida selvagem árabe
Oryx, gazela e o movimento da reserva abaixo fazem o voo parecer diferente de uma atração com vista para a cidade.
Acácia e ghaf
Os bolsões verdes entre as dunas dão profundidade à rota, especialmente quando a luz começa a se espalhar pela reserva.
A sombra que você projeta
One of the most memorable moments is watching your balloon shadow slide over the sand far below the basket.
The wider horizon
On clear mornings, the horizon opens wide and the reserve feels endless long before the city is fully awake.

GCAA-licensed. Seasonal. No shortcuts.
