This was one of the highlights of our Jordan trip. Captain Khaled took us ballooning in Wadi Rum. He runs a very professional outfit. Needless to say Wadi Rum has some spectacular scenery and seeing it from above in a slow floating balloon is the ultimate experience. I will do this again if I ever have the opportunity. More

Yesterday we started very early in the morning from Aqaba to watch the sunrise over Wadi Rum from a small hot air balloon. The view was fantastic. We can warmly recommend this trip organized by Royal Aerosports Club of Jordan. The crew, especially Khaled Shishani who is the balloon driver was very friendly and polite. All our questions were answered... More

My husband and I both went up in microlight planes and flew for nearly 2 hours over the Wadi Rum area. It was just simply magnificent. I just do not have enough words to describe just how wonderful the experience was. I have a fear of heights so was very unsure but it felt like the plane was standing still... More
