Overview

AlUla Skyrise is a breathtaking mass ballooning experience that sees 30 hot air balloons ascending together across the skies of Hegra. The balloons are open to guests, who will be transported in comfort from select 4- and 5-star hotels to the launch site for light refreshments - before enjoying cinematic views of AlUla’s landscape. As the balloons rise in unison, the magic of the experience unfolds in the silence of the early morning air. The flight lasts approximately 60 minutes and after landing, guests are returned to their pick-up point, carrying memories as vivid as the views.
