Wadi Rum Hot Air Balloon Flight with Sunrise Jeep Tour

Drift over Wadi Rum's red desert at sunrise on a hot air balloon ride, with round-trip transfers and a 2.5-hour sunrise Jeep tour.

Getting started

Begin your experience with free transportation from your camp within the Wadi Rum Disi area to the hot air balloon site. On arrival, you head to the balloon activity area, where your pilot conducts a safety briefing, including a safety procedure and demo before takeoff. While the crew prepares the balloon, you can get ready for your flight.

What to expect

Wadi Rum hot air balloon ride

Float above Wadi Rum's legendary red desert cliffs and ancient rock formations as the balloon lifts off at sunrise. The flight gives you a bird's-eye view of 4,500 years of history, including 154 archaeological sites and 25,000 rock carvings scattered across the desert.

Features

• A hot air balloon ride carries you for about 45 minutes, drifting silently as expert pilots, partnered with the Royal Jordanian Gliding Club, navigate over the desert landscape and point out hidden features from the air.
• Before takeoff, a safety briefing and demo with your pilot covers the safety procedure, so you understand how to board, land, and move inside the basket during the flight.
• Morning coffee, tea, and biscuits are served at the activity site while the balloon is prepared, and you also receive a water bottle at the balloon activity site to stay hydrated.

Sunrise Jeep tour and transfers

After landing, your desert adventure continues on the ground with a dedicated Jeep experience at first light. The combination of flight and drive lets you see the same landscape both from above and up close.

Features

• A 2.5-hour sunrise Jeep tour with photo stops takes you deeper into Wadi Rum, with time to capture the rock formations and desert scenery you just saw from the balloon from new angles.
• Round-trip transfers are included, with free transportation to the hot air balloon ride site and drop-off to your camp after the activities, so you return just in time for breakfast without arranging extra transport.
• A professional guide on the ground shares desert stories and points out hidden wonders during your Jeep tour, adding context to the formations and historic areas you pass.

Wrapping up

After the Jeep tour finishes, you are dropped off back at your camp just in time for breakfast, with the rest of your morning free to plan your next steps in Wadi Rum.
