By Tarsiers• 6 Feb 2011 20:06

most of these who said NO are not happy with the price or afraid of the risk (which actually does not exist at all compared with any other flying method)

By Tarsiers• 5 Feb 2011 17:16

Why how much does that cost in your home country? Equivalent to 10 QR for what you are calling a package? Can you please tell me any website in your home country where these packages exist and their prices?

Do you know that a hot balloon captain must be with you while flying? Do you know how much it costs here for processing such licenses and operative costs for such service?

How about making it 10 QR per hour?:) I bet on that all labors in industrial area will stand in long lines waiting their turn to fly:)

In my opinion, adventourus experiance is worth for people who value it, and not for people who value their savings

QR 200 per hour is dirt cheap compared to the UK, so I am still up for it. Something I have always fancied doing, and I would imagine a good photo opportunity as well.

Spent for QUALITY experience, not just to experience.. Hot Air balloon is available anywhere in other country, where all packages are there not only riding in a hot air balloon.. Jet ski, para sailing, banana ride, Snorkling, helmet diving.. etc.. all in one. That is Quality Experience specially if u r with your family..

It is expensive here because there's no other place to go too.. And u dont have other option..

Im saving all my money to do that all in my forthcoming vacation in BORACAY!

By timebandit• 5 Feb 2011 16:59

Then plastic bag it will be ;) besides you don't get motion sickness in a balloon

I don't think 200 QR is expensive to have a new experiance and do something different in your life. Go to Sealine and ask how much does it cost to rent a little bike, or speedmarine. Once you know how much it costs,and the market price of such asdventure experiances in the country, then you can tell if it is expensive or not.

Four Nos and Three Yes so far:)

By the way, hot ballooning is the safest method of flying, and it is not all about the view that you can see, but the experiance that you can have. Only those who tried it before would know how wonderful experiance it can be to feel yourself light and flying.

Hot air balloons are good only if we have great view from up there. but I don't think Qatar is that nice from a bird's view. Maybe at night because of the lights. Nevertheless, 200QR is still not worth it. So, No. :-)
