MARRAKECH · SUNRISE BALLOON FLIGHTS

Hot air balloon in Marrakech, in the morning light

The sky brightens. The ground gently falls away. Discover the landscapes around Marrakech in the soft morning light.

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.

A hot air balloon in Marrakech always takes off at sunrise: the shared Classic Flight suits most travellers, the VIP Flight suits couples and small groups, and the Agafay desert packages extend the day.

Before choosing, check the detailed price of each package and our guide to a first flight.
