Shepherd Balloon Dubai

Unfortunately I forgot our captain’s name, but he was great, and so was Ali and the assistant who helped us brief and load into the bucket. This experience was awesome, and the team was friendly, quick, and efficient.

Amazing experience. Beautiful gentle sunrise flight across the desert🐪🏜️. Ali and team are very hospitable and Captain Orlando was fantastic.

I had the most incredible experience with Shepherd Balloons & Tours on their early-morning hot air balloon desert safari. Waking up at 4 AM was absolutely worth it! The balloon took off beautifully, and the views from above were breathtaking. After landing, we continued the adventure through the desert, which was both peaceful and stunning. We were then treated to a lovely breakfast much needed after the early start followed by a camel ride and the chance to meet a falcon up close, which was such a special moment. The staff were amazing throughout the entire experience. I met Ali from Ghana, who was so kind and helpful. Shoutout to the rest of the team as well I didn’t get everyone’s names, but they were all wonderful. I highly recommend the hot air balloon desert safari with Shepherd Balloons & Tours. It was truly unforgettable!

I had an amazing sunrise balloon experience with Shepherd Balloon Dubai. Everything was well organized from pickup to landing. The views were unreal, the desert was calm and beautiful, and the whole team made the morning feel special. A big thank you to Ali for being so helpful and welcoming. He made the experience smooth, fun, and easy. We also got to meet a falcon and take photos with it, plus a camel, which made the whole morning even more memorable. The flight was smooth, the landing was perfect, and the certificate at the end was a nice touch. Definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Dubai.

THE VIEWS 🥹 Orlando is an amazing captain! I was scared before trying but felt extremely secure during the ride. Definitely recommend to everyone.

What an incredible experience! We would highly recommend Shepherdballoondubai. From pick up to drop it, it did not disappoint! Our captain Ersin flew flawlessly and timed the whole thing perfectly. The views were simply stunning! We can’t wait to do it again.

I took visiting family for a hot air balloon ride over the desert. I booked through Wondergifts so was skeptical about how it would work. But, I am happily satisfied. The driver was prompt and communicative the morning of pick up, plus he was an excellent driver. The camp was well decorated and much better than the last camp I went to last year. It was warm and friendly, with string lights and ample seating. We received our safety belts and then headed to the departure site. When we got in the basket, we got a picture taken which was later shared with us via WA. I loved that touch. The flight itself was good. Smooth. The captain explained technicalities during the flight. This balloon path was different than the one I had the previous year but equally as nice. The landing was rough but exciting. We were picked up quickly and then taken back home.
