Tourists visiting Saudi Arabia in 2026 will have the opportunity to book trips to the Earth’s stratosphere.
Halo Space, a Madrid-based company established in 2021 specialising in space tourism, has selected Saudi Arabia as one of its departure points, scheduling a test flight for June 2024.
Conditional approval for the test flight has been granted by the Saudi regulator, the Communications, Space & Technology Commission.
The journeys to the second layer of the Earth’s atmosphere will cost US$164,000 per person.

The spacecraft used for the trips will be an aerospace balloon housing a pressurised capsule capable of accommodating eight passengers along with a pilot.
The capsule will feature panoramic windows, offering passengers a 360-degree view of Earth.
Halo Space aims to commence commercial flights by 2026, with plans to operate 400 flights annually by 2029. Flights are expected to last four to six hours, with one to two hours spent at maximum altitude, providing passengers with clear views of the Earth’s blue curvature.
