Meeting before sunrise, pick-up at your hotel and transfer to the launch area, in the desert reserve. The team lays out and inflates the envelope during the briefing. The balloon lifts off as the day breaks, when the low light gives the sand its best colours.
An hour in the air at a varying altitude, chosen by the pilot according to the currents. You look down on the red dunes, sometimes on wildlife, camel enclosures or oryx areas in the protected zones. What stays with you is the quiet, broken only by the burner. After landing, breakfast is served before the drive back by 4x4. Five hours in all, and a postponement if the wind is too strong.
