One of the most marvelous experiences you can have in the UAE is riding in a hot air balloon. Soaring well above golden deserts and seen through the sunrise, as the dunes are bathed in reds and gold, the view is like that of a bird, of camels and gazelles—it is as though it is a dream! Although you can always take a balloon ride all through the year, November is the month you should make your adventure reservation. Combining favorable weather with unparalleled scenery, this month puts the activity in an even more unforgettable state.
The following are the five best reasons to consider booking your hot air balloon ride during November month, lets stat checking it out:
1. Strong Weather Prerequisites to Balloon Flight
The weather is one of the most significant considerations for a safe and enjoyable hot air balloon ride. The month of November in the UAE is cooler than the summer months, which are very hot. The cold morning breeze that ranges from 15°C to 25°C forms the perfect setting for ballooning.
Lighter air ascends the balloons in a gentle manner; thus, the flight is more stable and comfortable. Contrary to the summer, when the heat of the desert may be daunting, November mornings are cool, and you can literally sit back and have fun on the ride. It is also during the time that the sky is normally clear, giving a continuous panoramic view of the expansive desert scenery.
2. Looking at breathtaking desert scenery at the dawn of the day
November sunrises are wonderful in the UAE. The low position of the sun and clearer skies give brilliant hues of orange, pink, and gold, which scatter over the horizon. You can see the dunes of the desert glowing in the first light of the day, and the experience of that, through the balloon, is simply unforgettable.
Think of getting panoramic shots of limitless dunes, desert animals, and the ascending sun in a shot. The month is the best time to capture those Instagram-worthy photos, and the lighting is perfect in front of photography enthusiasts. The November balloon ride is not only a flight, but it is also a front seat to one of the most spectacular shows on earth.
3. Comfortable Travel Season among Visitors
November is the start of the high tourist season in Dubai as well as in the UAE at large. The favorable climate is a place of attraction to visitors worldwide, hence making it the right time to visit. One of the things that you must include in your Dubai itinerary is a hot air balloon ride if you are in the UAE during this month.
As most tourists visit the desert for city tours and other cultural activities, a hot air balloon ride will be the final proposal to add to your list of activities. It is a blend of adventure, leisure, and the beauty of nature in a single activity. Furthermore, mornings in November are not hot enough, and once you can leave the balloon basket, you will still be able to keep on with sightseeing without being exhausted by the temperatures.
4. Premier Wildlife Viewings by Air
The mornings of November make the desert creatures come out into the open air. When floating over the dunes, one can come across the Arabian gazelles, oryx, camels, and falcons grazing on the ground. This month gives higher opportunities of watching animals in their natural habitat because they are more active in the mild weather than the blazing heat of summer.
A falconry display is also part of other hot air balloon experiences, as these wonderful birds fly along with the balloon. The month of November is the month when the skies are clear and the best month to see these marvelous creatures at close quarters. This is a combination of desert fauna and air scenes, and thus, the flights in November are particularly unique.
