Marrakech Hot Air Balloon — FAQ

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.

Every experience includes the hot air balloon flight, professional organization, transportation and breakfast. The Group experience serves a Group Breakfast after landing, and the Private experience serves hot drinks in flight followed by a Private Breakfast after landing. The Private and VIP experiences add private transportation, and the VIP experience adds a personalized, private service on top along with Breakfast in the Sky, served during the flight itself. Any point still to be confirmed is clearly marked on the price page so there is no ambiguity when you book.

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.

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.

Yes. Private transportation is included with the Private and VIP Hot Air Balloon experiences. The Group experience is organized with shared logistics; if you need private transport with the group rate, ask our team when you book.

The Private Hot Air Balloon experience is priced at €450 per person and includes private transportation, hot drinks in flight, a Private Breakfast served after landing, and a more personal, exclusive organization of the flight.

The VIP Hot Air Balloon & Breakfast in the Sky is MarrakechAir's flagship experience, priced at €620 per person.

Yes. Children aged 5 and over can fly, accompanied by an adult. On the Group experience, children under 10 pay €140. For a Private or VIP flight with children, tell us their ages when you book.

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.

The simplest way to book is on WhatsApp at +212 675 203 319, where our team will confirm availability and details for your date. You can also write to [email protected] or send a booking request through our contact form.

Balloons only fly in calm, safe conditions, and the pilot makes the final decision on the morning of the flight. If the weather prevents your flight, you choose between moving to another date and a full refund. Tip: book your flight early in your stay, so there is time to reschedule if needed.

We recommend booking as early as possible, particularly for the Private and VIP experiences and during high season, so your preferred date and experience can be secured. Contact MarrakechAir on WhatsApp to check current availability.

Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before your flight, with a full refund. Cancellations made later than that, and no-shows, are not refunded. If we cancel because of the weather, you choose between another date and a full refund.

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.

Yes. Every passenger receives a personalized flight certificate after landing. Bring your phone or camera — you are free to take photos throughout the flight.
