An ordinary-sounding afternoon trip. As far as they know, it's just the desert.

What we change for couples planning a proposal

Message us on WhatsApp with the plan. We won't mention it in anything your partner might see.

2/3 Timing

We plan the day around sunset or sunrise. Weather can move a balloon flight, so pick a backup day.

3/3 The moment

Tell us what you have in mind, a quiet spot or a photo, and we'll plan around it.

What couples planning a proposal ask us

Where should I propose in Marrakech?

The two settings people choose most are a sunset ridge in the Agafay desert (45 minutes out) and a private balloon basket at sunrise. Both work best when the timing is planned around the light.

Will you keep it a secret?

Yes. Contact us on WhatsApp or by email yourself, and we'll only discuss the plan with you.

What if the weather is bad?

Balloon flights are rescheduled, not flown, when the wind is wrong, so leave a second morning free. The Agafay works in most weather, though winter evenings turn cold.

How much does a proposal day trip in Morocco cost?

We don't publish prices. The cost depends on your dates, how many of you there are, the vehicle and where you sleep, so we send a fixed written quote within 24 hours of your request. There is no deposit to ask for one.
