This image was taken from a Hot Air Balloon, looking southeast towards Doha. You'll need to arrange the experience through a local provider, such as Asfary or 365 Adventures (links below).
Our driver drove us to the meeting spot where we met the pilot and the rest of the group. We booked the sunrise trip and arrived at 5:45am. The trip is about 1-hour long. Enjoy!

Sunrise
You can get epic views of the Doha Skyline from a Hot Air Balloon all months of the year, but you'll need to check with the service provider for available dates.
During sunrise, you can capture the most beautiful view of the city. The sky glows with beautiful shades of orange, pink and purple. You'll never want to put your camera down!
Field tips
Be respectful of others—the Hot Air Balloon is a small space.
Bring a lens with versatility (24-70mm). You won't be able to change lenses when up in the Hot Air Balloon.
Consider the rule of thirds when composing your shot—the sky, the cityscape, and low-level buildings are all interesting elements to focus on.
Keep snapping photos! At sunrise, the colorful skies will constantly change in hue.
