08Trip intelligence

Good to know before you go

When to go

April to June & September to October — mild weather, clear skies, ideal for balloons. Winter is quiet but cold; July–August is hot along the coast.

Before you pack

  • Hot-air balloons weather-dependent — book with 1-day buffer
  • Modest dress at mosques (scarves provided for women)
  • Bargain hard at Grand Bazaar (start at 40% of asking price)
