Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Flight & Berber Breakfast
Overview
This is the most magical way to start a day in Marrakech. You leave the city in the dark and arrive at the take off field while the crew prepares the balloons. Then you rise slowly into the sky as the first light hits the mountains.
From above you see small Berber villages, palm trees, fields and the red earth of the plains. After a soft landing, you share a Berber breakfast with fresh bread, msemen, honey and mint tea, before the drive back to your hotel.
