Is this one for you?The early start and pre-dawn pickup mean you're airborne at sunrise, which is when the light and air conditions are best for ballooning, and when the Zaghouan landscape is quietest. If you're staying in Hammamet or nearby and have a free morning, this fits a single departure without eating into the rest of your day.
