WHERE DO HOT AIR BALLOON FLIGHTS TAKE PLACE?
Around Marrakech and Its Surrounding Landscapes
Hot air balloon experiences are organized around Marrakech, with flight areas and routes depending on operational conditions, weather and the experience selected.
The views can include the open countryside surrounding Marrakech, traditional landscapes and, when conditions allow, views toward the Atlas Mountains.
Because ballooning depends on the wind, every flight is naturally different.
That is part of what makes a balloon experience special: you are not following the same road every day.
