Private Balloon Ride
Your own basket, your own pilot. The single most-booked proposal setting in Dubai. 2, 4 or 6 guests.
Why couples book the private basket
A private hot air balloon means your basket is not shared with other guests. The pilot still flies, and the morning routine is the same, but the flight moment is yours — no strangers in the wedding photos, no silence-killing noise from the couple next to you. It is the single most-booked proposal setting in Dubai.
Private basket for 2 guests: AED 4500. Private for 4 guests: AED 6500. Private for 6 guests: AED 9000. All include pilot, inflation, chase crew, certificate and the deluxe breakfast.

Frequently asked
Is the private basket really private?+
Yes — you and your chosen guests only, plus the pilot. No sharing.
Can we propose mid-flight?+
Yes, and we encourage it. The pilot will quietly time the altitude for you and photograph the moment if you give a signal.
How far in advance do I need to book a private flight?+
At least 2 weeks for weekends, 1 week for weekdays. For a proposal, always book earlier and send us the preferred date + backup date.
Can the private basket include a second balloon nearby for video?+
Yes — for large group bookings we can position a second 'camera balloon' to film your lift-off from the air. Add-on cost from AED 3500.
