5Book the earlier balloon...
Book the earlier balloon ride so you see the sun rise. Picked up on time, and very well organised. Great experience, highly recommend
5Wonderful trip, beautiful...
Wonderful trip, beautiful experience , all ran smoothly. The organiser Mouhssine was fantastic in organising this trip, and other trips. We appreciated the pilot, Remy, advising us to change to a different day to get better trip with better weather. Absolutely magical trip
5You must do this!
Everything was accurate and perfect. We were picked up from our Riad in Marrakech and driven in a nice clean car to this amazing place out in the desert, greeted with mint tea and cookies. The balloon was heated up and we flew over the sand for almost an hour and then went back to the camp to have a very good breakfast. Highly recommended and my friend who is afraid of height said she would definitely do this again. amazing experience.
5Pick-up from Marrakech at...
Pick-up from Marrakech at a spot close to our riad very well organized. Loved the cat shaped balloon! Rémy took off quite slowly but we were rising in a steady way, it was also great to stay on the other side of all the balloons so we get a wonderful view with all of them in our picture. We were one of the last balloons to land, it was really worthy as experience.
5This was an awesome tour...
This was an awesome tour and a great way to start the day in Marrakesh, albeit early. He flexible on your pickup time as the driver will likely need to make several stops before heading to the departure site. The views are beautiful and the guides are very friendly. Highly recommend to start or close your visit.
5The Hot Air Balloon Experience
This was definitely an amazing experience. Will do it all over again! The staff was very helpful and polite. And watching that sunrise from up there, just made it extra special. This was on my bucket list for a while, and tick ✅️ A must do if you visit Morocco.

About Marrakech
At the foot of the Atlas Mountains, red-walled Marrakech is famed for its maze-like medina, lively main square and tranquil riads and gardens.
Jemaa el-Fnaa, the great square at the centre of the medina, changes character through the day, from juice sellers and snake charmers in the morning to smoke-wreathed food stalls and musicians after dark. The minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque rises nearby as the city's landmark, and the souks spread north in a warren of lanes selling leather, lanterns, carpets and spices.
Top-ranked sights in Marrakech: Atlas Mountains, Tizi-n'Tichka Pass, Jemaa el-Fna (Djemaa el-Fna).
