Really incredible views! It's super early, but totally worth it! They picked us up from the hotel in a large van and took us to boats where they served tea or coffee on our ride over. Right next to exiting the van were bathrooms, but (like everywhere in Egypt) remember to bring small bills, such as 5 Egyptian pounds, to use the bathrooms. Then it was on to the large balloon. We thought it was going to be cold, but NO it was a perfect temperature, and no matter where you are in the balloon it will rotate so everyone gets a view. It was a smooth morning with almost no wind, so we glided along as the sun rose behind the Nile. It took our breath away. So beautiful!
