Flying with Falcons by Balloon Adventures Dubai — Tour Review | Condé Nast Traveler

"Zoom out. What’s the big picture here? The only other person in your balloon is the pilot in this private adventure experience. Guests are picked up from their hotels and driven out into the desert. Bookings are required. How are the guides? Pilots are experts balloonists and falcon handlers, so you are in good hands. Conditions are measured before take-off and a safety briefing is undertaken. Anything you’ll be remembering weeks or months or years from now? The aerial views of the desert are some of the most spectacular you'll see. Not only is the rolling landscape incredible but it is possible to see Oryx and camels strolling the desert below. So: money, time—how can we make the most of both? Ideal for a special occasion with a loved one or for those looking to experience the culture in a totally different way." - Melinda Healy
