I have travelled all over the world and have gone on plenty of tours but this tour far exceeded all of my expectations! We had a phenomenal guide that was able to answer all of our questions and just blow our minds. Highly recommend this tour and if you get Hatem as your guide you are in for a real treat. It is a long day but beyond worth it! You will not be disappointed with this tour!!

It's hard to beat a tour like this. Although it might be a little tiring to wake up in the morning, the sunrise hot air balloon is absolutely worth it. If you want beautiful sunrise photos or to just take in the sheer beauty that Luxor has to offer, this is a must. After the hot air balloon, our guide, Hatem, took us to the Valley of the Kings. When people think of Egypt, they think of the pyramids, but if you want to take in the spectacle of Egypt, you MUST come here. The temple of Hatshepsut is absolutely breathtaking in its magnitude, and Hatem was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the sites. Every question I asked, he was very capable of answering, with further expansion. You will learn so much on this trip.
Highlight of the trip to Egypt hands down.
