Hot Air Balloon Marrakech: Sunrise Flight & Berber Breakfast

Our hot air balloon Marrakech flight is for early risers who want to see Morocco from the sky at sunrise. You get hotel or riad pickup before dawn, around an hour in the air above Berber villages and desert plains with views to the High Atlas, a traditional breakfast in a Berber tent and a flight certificate.

Book your hot air balloon Marrakech flight

This is the easy way to book: tell us your date and number of passengers on WhatsApp, we confirm availability and today's price, and your pickup is arranged. Want to know more before you commit, such as how flights work, what to wear or what the best season is? Our full hot air balloon Marrakech guide answers the common questions.

What the morning looks like

Early pickup

Balloons fly at sunrise, when the air is calmest. Your driver collects you from your hotel or riad between about 5:00 and 6:00, depending on the season, and drives you out of the city to the take-off site.

Inflation and take-off

Over a cup of tea, watch the crew lay out and inflate the balloon. After a safety briefing from the pilot, you climb into the basket and lift off gently as the sky starts to glow.

About an hour in the air

The flight drifts with the wind, so no two routes are identical. Expect views of mud-brick villages, olive and palm groves, dry riverbeds and, on clear mornings, the High Atlas mountains on the horizon. It is quiet, smooth and surprisingly peaceful.

Landing and Berber breakfast

After landing, the crew packs the balloon and you are taken to a Berber tent for a breakfast of Moroccan bread, pancakes, honey, olive oil and mint tea. You receive a flight certificate before the drive back to Marrakech, usually by late morning.
