Wadi Rum Tours

Ballooning Tours in Wadi Rum

Hot-air ballooning offers a different way to take in Wadi Rum: rising above the valley floor to see its red sand, rock towers, and wide open desert from the air rather than the ground. For visitors who have already explored Wadi Rum by jeep, on foot, or by camel, a balloon flight adds an aerial perspective on the same landscape.

Ballooning Over Wadi Rum

From the air, the scale of Wadi Rum becomes easier to appreciate — the pattern of dunes, the isolated mountains rising from the desert floor, and the openness of the valley stretching toward the horizon. A balloon moves slowly and quietly, giving passengers time to take in the surroundings from a vantage point that isn't possible from the ground.

Planning a Balloon Flight

Hot-air balloon flights depend on suitable weather and operating conditions, and availability can change. If a balloon flight is something you'd like to include as part of your visit to Wadi Rum, this is worth checking and confirming directly before you travel, since conditions on any given day will determine whether a flight can take place.
