Hot Air Balloon Marrakech
A sunrise flight over the Marrakech countryside, with the Atlas Mountains on the horizon.
What is the Marrakech hot air balloon experience?
MarrakechAir organizes hot air balloon flights departing from the countryside near Marrakech, with views toward the Atlas Mountains. The experience is available as a shared Group flight from €180 per person, a Private flight from €450 per person, or a VIP flight from €620 per person. Transportation and breakfast are included with every experience — only the VIP experience includes Breakfast in the Sky, served in flight.
A hot air balloon flight is one of the few ways to see the Marrakech countryside from above — the palm groves, farmland and villages that surround the city, framed by the Atlas Mountains. MarrakechAir organizes the full experience, from booking to landing, in three formats built around how private you want the experience to be.

The Flight
Marrakech from above
Flights depart early in the morning from the countryside near the Atlas Mountains, before the day's heat builds. From the air, the landscape around Marrakech opens up: ochre earth, palm groves, scattered farmland and, on clear mornings, the Atlas range along the horizon.
After the flight, the group returns to the launch area for the journey back into Marrakech. Exact timing and the meeting point are confirmed with you once your booking is arranged.

Questions
How much does a hot air balloon ride in Marrakech cost?
MarrakechAir offers a group hot air balloon experience from €180 per person. Children under 10 are €140. A private experience is €450 per person, while the VIP experience is €620 per person. Transportation and breakfast are included with every experience — Breakfast in the Sky, served during the flight, is exclusive to the VIP experience.
How long is the hot air balloon flight?
The flight itself lasts about 45–60 minutes, depending on the wind. Including hotel pickup, the drive to the launch site, the flight, breakfast and the return to Marrakech, plan for about 4 hours in total — you are back in the city by late morning.
What time is hotel pickup, and where do you pick up from?
Pickup is before sunrise, between 05:00 and 06:30 depending on the season, and we send you the exact time the evening before. We collect guests from hotels and riads in Marrakech and within 20 km of the city. If your riad is inside the medina, we meet you at the nearest point a vehicle can reach. The drive to the launch site takes about 30–45 minutes.
Are there any health or weight restrictions?
Ballooning is gentle, but you need to be able to climb into the basket and stand for the flight and the landing. It is not recommended during pregnancy, after recent surgery, or with serious heart or back conditions. Guests over 120 kg or with reduced mobility should tell us when booking, so the pilot can plan the basket.
Where does the experience take place?
Flights take off from the countryside just outside Marrakech, about 30–45 minutes by road, with views toward the Atlas Mountains. The pilot chooses the exact launch site each morning according to the wind, so you don't need to find a meeting point — we pick you up from your hotel or riad.
Can you fly all year round?
Yes. MarrakechAir flies all year round, weather permitting. Winter mornings are cold before sunrise, so bring warm layers; in summer, pickups are earliest, so you fly in the cool of the morning.
