Very well planned and organized, everything from pickup to launch and retrieval went well. Our pilot, Kahled and trip leader Sadek were excellent. If you do this you will see all the west Bank monuments better than from the ground.

Heart stopping experience! If ever you are in Luxor, do go for hot air ballooning. The Ariel views of Luxor temples are just enthralling. The pick start real early at 6 am. Then you board your felucca. You are served a small breakfast with tea here and then sail to the east bank of the city. There you take a mini van and go to the hot air ballooning ground. Each balloon generally has 12 to 16 people. You can opt for special experiences with lesser people but honestly it does not make much difference only you are up in the sky. I was extremely lucky as our pilot Mr Ahmed was very efficient and informative. The take offs and landing were super smooth and the air time was around an hour which is really decent. All in all, its been one of my highlights of my Egyptian chronicles!

Wonderful way to see the Luxor area from the air. The ride starts around dawn, and the route depends on the winds and the skill of the pilot. Our pilot was professional and personable, and took the balloon low enough at one point that we brushed the top of a sugar cane field

The balloon ride was amazing! So many balloons go up at once lite the sky! The children below come running outside to wave at you. It was so special and the pilot very professional.

We got an excellent pilot. The entire ride including the landing was smooooooooth. The view was insane and the pilot took the time to point out all the monuments and ruins on the ground. Highly recommended.

Great experience, the staff is joyful and focused on security but we were told to get ready at 3:30am and they were late we had to wait for a long time at every steps, precious sleeping hours. We were garanteed 35 minutes (up to 45-50 minutes) but we had only 27 minutes.

It was a lovely experience! The only downside might be that you’re not allowed to take a camera with you once you’re in the balloon, I would’ve liked to know that beforehand. But the views are absolutely worth it! Definitely my favorite morning in Egypt!

We had the option of doing a balloon ride through this company whilst on our tour of Egypt and Im so glad we did it. It was definitely worth getting up early to take a hot air balloon ride at sunrise. The pilots were very professional and friendly and at no time did I feel unsafe. The price was very cheap for a hot air balloon ride and they did this without cutting any corners. Highly recommended!

Went for a ride in the hot air ballon on 1st April 2019. Amazing experience , smooth takeoff & landing. The view over Luxor was amazing, breathtaking..........with the Valley of the Kings & Hatshepsut on one side and the river Nile & green fields on another. The sight of the sunrise from above is beautiful 👌👍👍It was a unforgettable experience. Most recommended part of the tour to Eygpt.

We were picked up on time at 3:30 am. The boat greeted us with coffee which was nice. However, I was quite disappointed to find that cameras are not allowed. Only cell phones (conveniently, they do sell videos and USB). Not being allowed to take my own decent photos was frustrating on its own. But I found that our balloon driver also did not evenly rotate the balloon. So I was trapped in a very filled cart without a reasonable view of the sunrise. The view on the other side of the cart looked like it had potential. I would have liked to have done more rotations to keep things fair. I also requested a comment card at the end as our leader gave out a few but was told that it’s fine. And was not given one.

We have seen the Valley of the Kings and the Hatshepsut Temple several times from the inside, this time from the top. It was a very nice experience. The reservation the evening before by mobile phone over Viator worked great also the contact was made immediately. The process was organized and went smoothly. Overall, a really nice experience.

So good. The service fee is 140 USD. Wake up 04:00. Take the van to the boat. Take the van. Take the balloon. Have breakfast. Put the bag. If not hungry, dont leave Take it to the children who came to the shop before the balloon Follow the instructions Then everything will be fine
