Agadir Balloon Flight at Dawn with a Berber Breakfast

The operator brought its balloons down from Marrakech, where it had been flying for years, and now works the sky over Agadir as well. The morning starts before dawn with pickup from your hotel in an insured 4x4, then tea, coffee and refreshments at the launch site. You can watch the cold inflation and take part in it if you want; boarding begins once the burners have done their work. The flight runs about 60 minutes at an average of six knots, roughly 11 km/h, which is slow enough that the ground changes gradually rather than passing. Below are craggy valleys and the foothills of the Atlas. After landing comes a short drive to a Berber breakfast.
