What you can expect

Experience the magic of Oman from the sky with Royal Balloon Oman. Our hot air balloon tours offer a one-of-a-kind adventure, soaring above the stunning Sharqiya Sands. Whether you're a thrill-seeker, nature lover, or simply seeking serenity, this unforgettable journey awaits.

The Journey Begins: Arrival and Preparation
Your experience starts before dawn with a pick-up from your accommodation. Our drivers ensure you reach the launch site—between Arabian Oryx Camp and Desert Nights Camp—just as the sky begins to lighten. You'll be welcomed with morning coffee and snacks, setting the tone for the adventure ahead.

Watch as our expert crew prepares the balloon—unloading, assembling, and inflating it against the backdrop of a rising sun. Once the safety briefing is complete, it’s time to climb aboard. As the balloon gently lifts off, a calm excitement sets in.

At approximately 600 metres (2,000 feet), you'll enjoy breathtaking views of the Sharqiya Sands. The wind guides the flight, making each journey unique. The play of light and shadow on the dunes, the vastness of the desert, and the silence of the skies create a truly peaceful experience.

Photography lovers will enjoy capturing the desert at sunrise, with endless opportunities for stunning shots. We recommend bringing a camera or smartphone, along with flat shoes, sunglasses, and a hat for comfort.

The Landing: A Celebration of Flight
After about an hour, the pilot begins the descent. The landing, whether smooth or slightly bumpy, is all part of the adventure. Once on the ground, guests are invited to a short post-flight celebration with refreshments.

Each guest receives a commemorative medal—a token of a magical flight over Oman’s most iconic desert landscape. This is more than a ride; it’s a memory you’ll treasure forever.
