Margham Desert, Dubai: Hot air balloon in bucket list. Checked. This is a flight of a lifetime, soaring high above in the sky watching the burnished orange sun awaken lazily.

Safety measures during landing were inadequate, as there was no precaution beyond a seatbelt, resulting in multiple head impacts. Furthermore, the cleanliness of the facilities was far below acceptable standards, with the toilets and overall environment being particularly unhygienic. While the ride itself was enjoyable, the overall experience leaves much to be desired, and there are likely better...
