The Hot Air Balloon Luxor
The day will begin with a pickup from your Luxor hotel at dawn. Initially, this hot air balloon tour begins at the West Bank, and your guide will take you there. Soft drinks will be waiting for you as you arrive at the port of departure, setting the mood for an enjoyable trip.
Following a safety briefing and introduction to your ground crew and pilot, you will rise gently into the still-dark sky. The tranquility and beauty of the early-morning sun rising over the East Bank, illuminating the city of Luxor and surrounding mountains, is something you will never forget.
To the east, you can see Karnak Temple greeting the morning sun, while adjacent to the West there’s the magnificent Hatshepsut Temple. You’ll see the Colossi of Memnon rise from the crop fields and, winds permitting, fly over the Ramesseum for an unrivaled aerial view of the complex. In the distance, the hidden Valley of the Queens rests peacefully in the mountains.
A support van and your landing crew will follow the flight and be there to meet your landing. Your hot-air balloon flight will last approximately 30 to 45 minutes, and you’ll be back at your hotel or cruise ship in time for breakfast and morning tour departures.

This have been one of our best adventures and highly recommended for everyone who is in love with the Egyptian ancient civilization. We have tried the hot air balloon in Kenya before and this one was our second experience. It has been well-organized, and we had plenty of photos of the luxor from up.

The balloon was scary for me at first but as we started flying over Luxor, I was completely overwhelmed with the view. The pilot is funny guy and Holiday Tours guide was incredibly attentive to our requests and changes.
