Visiting Morocco should be on everyone’s must-go list. This beautiful country has something for everyone, from mouth-watering cuisine to fascinating architecture, from bustling markets to stunning scenery. One of the most impressive sights of Morocco is its desert views, offering some of the best vistas in Africa.
The Sahara desert can be seen up close as you stroll through the winding streets and alleyways of Marrakech or join a four-by-four jeep tour with a local guide. But to really take in the vastness of it all, nothing beats taking a hot air balloon ride over the sand dunes at sunrise or sunset. This majestic experience is sure to remain with you forever.
Taking off from Marrakech, you’ll soar high above the seemingly limitless sandscape below and enjoy spectacular aerial views of mountain ranges, oases, and incredible traditional Berber villages that dot the landscape. Flying in a hot air balloon gives you a unique vantage point and gives you a peek at just how stunning the Sahara is in its entirety – something that cannot be fully appreciated on foot or even in a car. Due to thermal currents rising up from beneath the balloon, your flight could last anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour depending on weather conditions – giving you loads of time to relish this incredible experience!
Once your journey ends and you safely land back down on terra firma, there’s no better way to get as much of Morocco as possible than sipping mint tea with freshly baked pastries – genuine Moroccan hospitality exemplified!
Adding a hot air balloon ride to your itinerary when visiting Morocco will guarantee memories that will stay with you for many years – it’s an experience to add to your bucket list!
