What to Wear for a Dubai Hot Air Balloon Ride
What to Wear for a Dubai Hot Air Balloon Ride
The desert can feel cool before sunrise and warmer soon after landing. Practical layers and secure footwear are more useful than formal clothing for a balloon morning.
Best clothing choice
Wear lightweight layers that can be removed as the sun rises. Avoid loose scarves or items that can catch during boarding, and choose clothing that allows you to bend your knees for the landing position.
Footwear
Closed, comfortable shoes with a stable sole are recommended. Launch and landing areas are natural desert ground, so high heels and open sandals are not practical.
What to bring
Bring the identification requested in your confirmation, a charged phone and only a small secure bag. Follow the operator’s instructions for cameras, large bags and any medication.
Frequently asked questions
