3- Hot air ballooning over the desert
If you still have a head for heights, then why not see Dubai and the surrounding desert from a hot air balloon? Balloon Adventures can take you on a unique, personal journey over an endless ocean of sand dunes and emerald green oases. From above you can observe oryx, gazelles and wandering camels and witness a breathtaking sunrise with the backdrop of the majestic Hajjar Mountains.
Abu Dhabi may not be a flashy and over-the-top as Dubai, but it has emulated Dubai’s success in building itself into a booming city that has risen from the desert sands.
