  • Enjoy the stunning scenery of the desert below you as you share the air with only your loved ones, the pilot and the storyteller.
  • Experience the captivating stories of the land as our in-flight storyteller shares cultural tales of the desert.
    Fly alongside the world’s fastest animal as you witness an in-flight falcon show.

  • Indulge in a spectacular breakfast menu crafted by a Michelin-starred chef inspired by the elements of air, earth, fire, and water. Savour this meal at a tranquil desert oasis and experience serenity as you have a private camp to yourself.

    CARTA PRIVATE EXPERIENCE

    BREAKFAST MENU +

    What was once water is now sand.
    What is sand now will turn into a forest.

    As you take flight, the desert awakens beneath you, revealing the elements that shape the land -Air, Fire, Water, Earth- each woven into this journey created for you. This menu is a sensory homage to the elements that have moulded the desert.

    On your table

    Assorted cheese, nuts, seasonal fruits, locally sourced honey, jam, and butter. Comes with a side of warm bread.

    Palate Cleanser

    Passionfruit and turmeric shooter to refresh your palate for the culinary journey ahead.

    FINER DETAILS +

    Embark on a sensory experience with a dish of your choosing:

    WATER

    Inspired by the hidden oasis of the desert, this dish blends seaweed poached crab and lobster with finely chopped mango, rich crème fraiche, grapefruit, topped with green oil and delicate caviar.

    EARTH

    Like the sands of the desert, this dish reveals layers of smashed avocado, heirloom carrots and roasted sweet potatoes. Baby beets, crisp red radish and desert truffle provide a satisfying bite, reflecting the evolving textures of the dunes.

    FIRE

    Infused with gentle kisses from the sun, the smoked red pepper couscous embraces tender grilled chicken breast and chicken chorizo sausages. A cooling touch of mint yoghurt soothes each bite, while a final whisper of lemon olive oil completes this fiery dance.

    AIR

    Floating on delicate layers of airy puff pastry, a light vanilla lemon espuma takes flight, surrounded by caramelised banana, fresh berries, and a drizzle of date syrup that glides like a breeze.

    Choose your choice of eggs

    soft scrambled, sunny-side up fried, or soft poached.
