A DIFFERENT VIEW OF MARRAKECH

Some mornings are made for the sky.

Take time to discover a different side of Marrakech. From the morning light and balloon preparations to the landscapes coming into view, your experience begins before you leave the ground.

Flying in a hot air balloon in Marrakech at sunrise is possible in four ways with Red City Balloon: the shared Classic Flight at €110 per person (45 minutes), the VIP Flight at €700 for 1–3 passengers (60 minutes) and two Agafay desert dinner packages from €155. Round-trip transfers and two breakfasts are included.

Beyond the bustle of the city, the plains unfold in the changing light. A Marrakech hot air balloon flight is an invitation to slow down, look around and let the wind shape the journey.
