The experience
What makes this time well spent
The morning starts before sunrise, when the streets of Marrakech are still quiet and the countryside is only beginning to appear in the first light.
At the launch site, the flight team prepares the balloon while guests receive a safety briefing. Once airborne, the basket moves with the wind above fields, villages and wide rural landscapes.
The exact route and flight time depend on weather conditions. After landing, breakfast is served before the return transfer to Marrakech.
