Itinerary
Marrakech in 3 days
Where to fit a sunrise flight.
Hot-air balloon in Marrakech
A balloon flight depends on the weather and usually starts very early. Before booking, compare the pick-up, the type of flight, what's included and what happens if it's cancelled.
In short
- Book a morning with no other plans and with slack in case the flight is postponed.
- The official tourism guide describes flights over the Jbilets area, on the outskirts of the city: check in the listing where you'll fly.
- Compare shared or private flights, pick-up and inclusions.
- Read the terms for weather cancellations: rebooking or refund.
Shared or private
01 · Shared flight
A basket shared with other travellers
Who it suits: Travellers who want the experience and don't need privacy.
What to check on the listing
- How many people are there per basket?
- What's included besides the flight?
- How long is the flight, and how long is the whole plan?
02 · Private flight
A basket just for your group
Who it suits: Couples or groups who want the flight to themselves.
What to check on the listing
- Is it really private, or just a smaller basket?
- What's included besides the flight?
- Is there pick-up from your accommodation?
No option matches that combination. Try another filter or clear them all.
If the weather changes
A sunrise flight may not go ahead on the planned day. Before booking, see what happens if it's cancelled and don't leave it for the last morning of your trip.
What to check in the listing
- Whether another day or a refund is offered.
- How late you can cancel free of charge.
- Who decides on a cancellation and how you're told.
How we compare
How we select and order
- We compare formats, not providers: we don't link to specific activities.
- For each format we say who it suits and what to check in the listing before booking.
Order: By the time you need and the type of traveller each format suits.
Practical information
- Usual pick-up time
- According to Marrakech's official tourism guide, one of the operators picks up from accommodation at around 5:00-5:30, depending on the season, to fly at sunrise over the Jbilets area. There are private and shared flights.
