Making memories —— At sea, on land and above the clouds, the new season brings plenty of opportunities for unforgettable experiences with Platinum Heritage
Up in the air As the summer months draw to a close and temperatures begin to drop, it signals the start of a brand new season of tours with Balloon Adventures. So, if you’ve had a balloon ride on your bucket list for a while, now is the perfect time to go. The hot air balloon company, which has been organising balloon tours in the UAE since 2005, offers a unique aerial adventure quite unlike anything else in the world. Imagine floating more than 3,000 feet above the Dubai desert, spotting herds of gazelles and Arabian oryx grazing below you, while trained peregrine falcons swoop alongside your balloon. It sounds like something out of a film, but this unforgettable experience is one that Balloon Adventures really offers. You’ll see the landscape transform below as the sun rises above the Hajar Mountains and lights up the golden dunes. After your early morning spent in the air, you’ll come back down to earth for a drive in a 1950’s vintage Land Rover to an authentic Bedouin camp. There, you’ll have a chance to freshen up before settling down to a feast of breakfast delicacies including eggs Benedict, smoked salmon and caviar – the perfect end to a memorable morning. ballooning.ae 04 4409827 AED1,195 per person
