45-Minute of Amazing Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Over the Historical sites in Luxor

Fly over west bank of Luxor is magical expirience. Lending in the middle of field also. Very well organised and safe to fly.

They ruined my day. I booked it taking it as the first fly. But actually after arriving the place, the guide made me wait for the THIRD fly and when the third fly was preparing the balloon, it was cancelled. I had to go back with my time wasted and my mood ruined. For everyone who sees this, don’t trust it will be first fly though it charge the price of first fly. I learned that never trusted what Egyptians said from today’s experience. And if you want to book Hot Air Balloon, better to book it in the Hot Air Balloon company’s website. Many people here are not reliable. —the below is my experience as reference— Here it writes the pick up time is 3:15. But last night at 10:30pm they told me the pick up is 5am. In many other companies, 5am is already the time of SECOND fly. The operator told me“No worries you won’t miss the sunrise” ok I accept. Then they waste me 1 hour and 17minutes waiting in the parking lot. The operator kept telling me “not to worry, the time is okay, you won’t miss the sunrise” , I believed. I’m the first people getting in their car. However, all the other people in the same car with me went to the balloon place with just leaving me alone in the car waiting in the parking lot. At 6:17, the car finally moved to the balloon place. Sunrise already started at that time. They arranged me in the last group and didn’t tell me. The guide just kept us wait and wait and wait. He speak little English and was hard to communicate while on the page it shows the tour language is English. Waiting until 7:20, almost all the other people were in balloon in the sky, our group was told the fly cancelled. In my return, I met some persons whose balloon was cancelled said they booked the second fly and came, not waiting too much time before the cancellation and the price is much cheaper. I don’t understand why I paid $60 for FIRST fly but I need to wait 2hrs and 30 minutes and was arranged to 3rd fly. It’s totally a lie. I can accept if you said to me last night the tour is cancelled because there’s no place for first fly. Or tell me I will be arranged to last groups to fly late. Ok then I’d like to have enough sleep. From my balcony I can also have a panoramic view of sunset and flying balloons. I can also accept you write here the pick up time is 5am and I’ll know it will be 2nd fly time and I won’t book it. I gave up many choices at 4/4:30am at the price $45-55 and chose this earliest one to guarantee it must be the First fly. Also I double confirmed with the operator it would be first fly. But see how things happen????you see other people getting in car later than you, then they went to balloon first and flied, you wait wait wait wait and finally be cancelled.

It was absolutely fantastic. The transfer showed up on time, then we got into a boat where they offered coffee or tea and a little cake while we crossed the Nile river. After that we got into another van and went to the takeoff site. It's absolutely amazing seeing the whole process of filling up all the balloons. The flight was absolutely amazing and really smooth, both on takeoff and the landing. The capitan Mo was amazing, and give us insights about what we were seeing, and was always rotating the balloon to ensure that everyone was able to see and take photos properly. I can't recommend enough this experience!
