Experience Luxor at sunrise from a hot air balloon, after early morning pickup, travel to the west bank of the Nile River, and board a shared balloon basket for a 30 to 40 minutes flight. Enjoy once in a lifetime balloon ride in the sky of Egypt's biggest open-air museum and watch the sunrise illuminating the sky of Luxor over the great temples and mountains below. See the area’s famous temples from above and enjoy the breathtaking views of Karnak temple, Hatshepsut temple, Valley of the Queens and so much more. This area has often been described as the biggest open-air museum and a view from the sky supports the description. The hot air balloon trip takes off everyday from West Bank, however confirmation in advance is still highly recommended. With door-to-door transportation included.

Our group of 14 did a sunrise balloon ride over the temples of Hatchepsout, Ramses II and the colosses of Memnon. As the sun rose, the fog over the Nile lifted and the views were magnificent. We could even hear workers in sugar cane fields.
The service included pick-up at the dock and the drive back.
No champagne glass at the end, but the views made the ride the experience of a lifetime.

Es war ein unvergessliches Erlebnis!!!
Der Start im Morgengrauen mit den „angefeuerten“ bunten Ballons war ein Traumbild und das Tal der Könige von oben in den ersten Sonnenstrahlen- unbeschreiblich!
Die Organisation war von der Buchung bis hin zur Ballonfahrt perfekt. Vielen Dank.
