Sunrise seen from a balloon basket over the plains north of Marrakech, on a flight that lifts off at the Bourrous site in the Jbilet hills. A car collects you from your hotel and brings you back again, tea and pastries are waiting before you board, and the hour you spend flying tops out at around 750 metres. From up there you look down on the Oued Tensift valley, palm groves, Berber douars and, beyond them, the Atlas Mountains. Back on the ground a traditional Berber breakfast is set out in a caidal tent, and a certificate marks the flight. Pilots hold DAC certification and the flight is covered by full insurance. The published rate of 165 EUR per person is described as all-inclusive, and you are back at your hotel by mid-morning with the whole day ahead.
