Full description

Enjoy a 50-minute hot air balloon over the Valley of the Kings, the world’s most important archaeological site, lit up by the changing colors of the sunrise. Watch as the balloon begins to stand up and board with the assistance of the ground crew. 

After a gentle takeoff, you’ll become one with the wind and lose the sensation of motion. Get lost in the tranquility of ballooning, disturbed only by the noise of the burners.

Take in breathtaking views of Luxor and all its ancient temples and tombs. See the lives of farmers and other locals as you glide over fields where people irrigate their land, gather crops, and care for their animals. 

To ensure all passengers have an equal opportunity to see and snap some amazing photos, the pilot will be sure to rotate the balloon during the flight. Finally, your guide will teach you the proper landing position and land expertly in an empty field or desert.

One of the best decisions I made on my trip. Beautiful balloon ride with excellent coordination. The view is extraordinary to see all the West Bank sites from above. Abdo was an excellent guide for the experience, and Ali was the perfect pilot. The balloon came down so gently we didn't know we had landed!

Absolutely fantastic! The tour is very well organised, the guide will pick you up on time, you will take a boat to move from east to west side, overall hassle-free trip with unforgettable view from the sky. Also Yousef and Abdullah, really nice guides!

It’s a bit expensive but so worth it! This is something you can’t miss when you’re in Luxor, the view is AMAZING! Above my expectations. However, you are a bit crowded when you’re in the hot air ballon and be careful with the children once you land! If you talk to them they will be asking you for money.
