Lebanon’s Magical Hot Air Balloon Rides Are Here! Here’s How to Book Yours

Lebanon just got a brand new way to experience its mountain views: hot air balloon rides at Zaarour!

If you’ve ever dreamed of floating above the hills during golden hour, this is your chance. Beloved Zaarour sunset spot Jouroudi is now home to Lebanon’s magical new hot air balloon rides.

These balloon ride nights happen every now and then, and the next one is set for this weekend. The next event is happening this Sunday, July 6, with rides kicking off around 6 PM, just in time for sunset views.

Tickets cost $15 per person, plus a $20 minimum charge that you can fully redeem on food and drinks. You float up, enjoy panoramic views of Jouroudi during golden hour, and then come back down after about five minutes. The balloon fits four people at a time, and spots are first-come-first-served, so get there early to secure your ride!

The best part is that you could spend the rest of your night chilling by the bonfire and enjoying a few drinks with your friends. A live DJ will be playing under the stars, setting the perfect mood for a laid-back summer night in the mountains.

Want to book your spot? You can reach out to them on Instagram or give them a call on +961 3 091 919.
