Berber villages

See Berber villages from the air — douars on the plain north of Marrakech, farms, the pattern of life you cannot read from a taxi. From the ground they are walls and tracks. From the balloon they are the country you float over after the high pass, when the pilot comes down. You do not get a promised hover over a named village. Oulad El Garn is the douar the operator’s camp sits with. The wind still sets which roofs you actually fly.

The shared Marrakech balloon is the ticket built around this view at the from-price: Atlas foothills and villages, then a Berber breakfast in a caidal tent. VIP is the same villages from a private compartment. Private luxury is your balloon, fruit and juice in the air, tent after. Gourmet eats in the sky. None of them is a village walking tour.

You do not land in a house. You do not get a cooking class. Breakfast after the shared, VIP, and private luxury flights is under the tent: a Berber buffet the listing names. The gourmet ticket is a different meal, in the basket, with Bacha Coffee, tea, and juice as listed — not the tent buffet as the main event.

The extra of paying up is not more douars. It is space in the basket, or breakfast in the air. Stay on shared if the villages and the tent are the point. Take VIP if you want a compartment of two to five on a shared ship. Take private if the balloon is yours.

The Jbilets sit around this country. The Atlas is the far view. Sunrise lights the roofs. The Palmeraie is the palm country you leave. Another balloon over villages on this site is Cappadocia; this one is the Haouz plain.

About 40 to 60 minutes in the air, about four to four and a half hours for the morning with pickup. Not under 4. Children with an adult. 120 kg on the shared and VIP listings. Not pregnancy or the medical list. Weather can cancel the whole outing.
