This is a must do in Dubai!
The staff at Sinbad Ballooning were friendly and very professional. We felt safe and in good hands the whole time.
Our driver Zakria was great with us and our 2 children. He took videos and photos for us and even provided an exciting 4wd dune driving experience with music to match.
Our balloon captain was highly skilled and even had us in the air for an extra 30mins to ensure we had a safe place to land.
The manager ensured everyone was happy and things ran smoothly. Even my email contact Helen was super helpful and replied to my emails quickly.
Would highly recommend!

We booked this as a birthday surprise for my dad. We were collected by Sajid Ali he was just amazing and made the trip, he played along with the surprise and shown us the main attractions on route to the hot air balloon. Sajid had taken some pictures and videos from the ground too which were great too add to the collection. Our tour organiser was Ibrahim Sindbad who was great fun on the experience after the balloon ride. There was no large crowds, the breakfast was very nice and the area was extremely clean. You could go on the camels as many times as you wanted. There was buggy rides available too. I would highly recommend this as one of the best organised trips I was on. The views over the desert were just fabulous. 5*

The team was very punctual, friendly, and made the passengers safety a priority.
Being in a hot air balloon for the first time, seeing the sunrise over the Dubai desert was a beautiful and memorable experience.
The entire ride was gentle, including the landing.
I definitely recommend this experience and tour company.

Fantastic operation! The pilot was outstanding and provided a running commentary of everything he was doing and thinking about as we flew. The trip was way more fun than expected and I would highly recommend this to others.
The camel ride was not what we expected, but that’s our fault for not carefully reading about this tour. You just walk around in a small circle. If all you want is to snap a quick pic on a camel it’s great but I’d you were looking for a desert safari this is not the tour.
Overall we still had a fantastic time and highly recommend it.

I am totally amazed by this tour!!! Let me start with the fact that they pick you up in a luxury car super clean, beautiful music abroad and a fantastic, professional and polite driver!!!
Once we arrived to the camp, we were briefed about the safety rules.
Our Capitan was Mr. Smiley from Egypt, he is the best pilot ever, he took us to see the sunrise and mesmerizing views of the infinite desert, he took well care of all of us and made us laugh during the flight.
The breakfast is delicious
The team deserves 5 stars!!
This tour is a MUST while in Dubai.

Don’t know where to start…
The whole experience from start to end was phenomenal.
We were picked up from our hotel in a private Land Cruiser, the driver was lovely and very informative throughout.
The communication from the team was next to none. I received continuous updates via WhatsApp (which was super handy). Any questions were promptly answered within the hour!!! And after the trip the team have forwarded videos and pictures taken with the kindest messages.
The actual hot air balloon flight was magical. Travelling over the desert at sunrise is now up there with one of the things I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
I wish to thank our pilot. His skill was flawless, his kind nature and his patience. He told us it was a difficult flight due to low/no wind and he managed to single handily land our balloon. Still smiling the entire time.
The breakfast followed was lovely. Greeted by a gentlemen playing The oud.
Wow! We cannot thank Ibrahim Sindbad and his team enough. This was certainly a trip of a lifetime and we will forever be grateful to the team who made it possible.

I can’t recommend this experience enough! Everyone we met was so so kind and friendly, we were collected from our hotel by kundal and it was about a 40 minute drive to the desert. At the desert we were greeted by ibrahim and given a safety demo from the pilot Mohammad.
The flight itself was very cool and we had spectacular views of the sunrise, and it was an all round great experience in a hot air balloon! In the safety demo we were told about the three landing types based on weather conditions and when it came time for us to land we had a very bumpy one, We finished with the basket on its side but it was very controlled and landing was actually great fun!
After the flight we were taken for breakfast where you could also ride camels and have photos with a falcon. Everyone on the team were fantastic and even after we left the crew sent us photos and videos they had taken of us during the flight and a different points throughout the experience
All in all, it was a fantastic experience, the people were phenomenal and I would 100% be doing this again!

What an amazing experience! First time going on a hot air balloon ride and it was phenomenal! Our pilot Orly was so professional and had a great sense of humor, he was constantly updating us about the wind directions and how hot air ballooning works and it was good fun hearing the insights. Seeing the sun rise from that altitude was breath taking! Thanks a lot to the team for making this such an experience for me and my family. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an experience of a lifetime!

We wanted to go ballooning as this was a highly recommended activity in Dubai. We were able to find only this experience, as other operators were closed due to the fact it is summer and temperatures get real high. Our driver picked us up at 4am, and right after we picked up another couple that would fly with us. We headed to their operations center first before going to the departure site, which was 5 min from there. We were able to see the balloons being inflated and before boarding we were given safety instructions. Once in the air, enjoy the view, the sunrise and the smooth ride. Our captain and assistant were really good and we had a great time, from departure to a very nice landing. I believe we stayed in the air for about 50min. We then headed to a camp where breakfast was served. You could ride a camel, take pictures with a falcon, and also drive a buggy or a quad bike (need to pay extra). To be honest, I’d skip all of this and keep only the balloon, which is indeed the best experience in this package.

This was one of the best experiences I have had while traveling. The process from beginning to end was great. Company representatives communicated through WhatsApp regarding expectations, travel accommodations, and do’s and don’ts. Our driver arrived to the hotel early and had the front desk to call up to our room and he waited patiently in the lobby for arrival and escorted us to his vehicle, we proceed to pickup a family of 3 and then on to base camp. Once we arrived we were given instructions, completed our waivers and offered coffee or tea. Shortly after we were given our safety briefing and then headed to the balloons. Once we arrived our driver served as our photographer and then it was go times. The safety briefly prepared is for entering the basket, safety harnesses and landing position, and then we were flying high above the desert. Once we landed our original group of five were driven to a smaller camp to enjoy breakfast and then time with Syre the falcon and our camel experience. Simply amazing.
