We work out where a vehicle can actually meet you if you are staying inside the medina.

If a flight is unlikely to run, we tell you before you pay, not at the field.

FAQ

Before you book

Which is better, a balloon flight or paragliding?

Neither is universally better. Ballooning is calm, standing, pre-dawn and suits mixed groups and families. Paragliding is active, involves a short run at launch, and puts you closer to the mountains. Our comparison page walks through the differences.

How far in advance should I book?

Book for the first or second morning of your stay so a weather cancellation can be rescheduled inside your trip. In spring and autumn, book several weeks ahead.

Do you publish prices?

We publish a price once it is fixed. Our balloon flight with breakfast and a camel ride is 1,670 MAD per adult and 1,250 MAD per child. For the other experiences, message us and you get a firm figure for your party and date.

Do you pick up from inside the medina?

Vehicles cannot reach every riad door. Send us your riad name and we will agree the nearest accessible meeting point before you book.

Tell us your dates and we will tell you what is realistic

Including whether the morning you have chosen is a good bet, and which experience suits your group.
