celebrate your flight with refreshments and snacks in keeping with traditional ballooning customs
Overview
Discover the true essence of Oman on this unforgettable multi-experience journey combining a sunrise hot air balloon flight, an overnight desert stay, and a visit to the stunning Wadi Bani Khalid. Designed for travellers seeking adventure, nature, and authentic local experiences, this tour offers a perfect balance of excitement and relaxation.
Your journey begins early morning with a transfer to the desert launch site, where you will witness the calm beauty of dawn as the hot air balloon is prepared for flight. After a short safety briefing, gently rise into the sky and float peacefully above the endless dunes of the Sharqiya (Wahiba) Sands. As the sun rises, the desert below transforms into shades of gold and amber, offering breathtaking panoramic views and unforgettable photo opportunities.
After landing, enjoy light refreshments before continuing deeper into the desert for an immersive experience. Take part in desert driving across rolling dunes and settle into a comfortable desert camp. As evening falls, relax under a star-filled sky and enjoy traditional hospitality, dinner, and the peaceful atmosphere of the desert night.
On the following day, the journey continues to Wadi Bani Khalid, one of Oman’s most famous natural oases. Surrounded by dramatic mountains, the wadi features clear turquoise pools ideal for swimming, relaxing, or simply enjoying the natural scenery before returning to Muscat.
This tour offers a complete Omani experience — from floating silently above the desert to sleeping beneath the stars and swimming in a lush wadi — all in one memorable adventure.
Perfect for couples, adventure seekers, and nature lovers, this tour showcases Oman’s most iconic landscapes in one seamless journey.
