A sky-high favourite for the entire family
Over 50 hot air balloons star in one of Doha’s most spectacular shows, the Qatar Balloon Festival. Painted against clear-blue skies and earthy surroundings, the balloons come in all sorts, shapes, and colours. This year’s event will be 3rd edition to date and is set to be bigger and more spectacular than ever. Highlights include 'Nightglow' - the after dark experience with illuminated balloons and the epic 'Sunrise Launch.' Enjoy live music and food kiosks to top off this unforgettable event.
Adding to the fascinating display of hot air balloons, the festival presents a range of activities for all the family. In this show, the balloons are expertly and safely tied above the ground so that they float just above you. All in all, a breathtaking experience.
