Wadi Rum Balloon Tours

Wadi Rum landscapes are world famous, particularly the aerial shots, made famous on many films. Described as being reminiscent of Mars, and known as ‘the Valley of the Moon” for the unique imagery. Wadi Rum offers hot air balloon rides allowing visitors to drift over the desert and see the breath taking landscapes. The balloon rides start at sunrise to take advantage of the calm winds. The pleasant morning temperatures combine with great lighting to enjoy the cliffs and take photos.

Ballooning provides a unique view point of the vastness and otherworldly landscapes making it number 4 on our list of best things to do in Wadi Rum!
