Luxor Hot Air Balloon
Luxor Hot Air Balloon
We'll pick you up from your hotel in Luxor first thing in the morning, under cover of darkness and before the day has truly begun. During the transfer to the launch site, you'll warm up with tea, coffee, and a little bit of breakfast.
With the balloon ready, you'll get comfortable inside the basket and enjoy an unforgettable ride over the temples of Luxor in time with the rising sun. During the 50-minute flight, you'll appreciate how the sun bathes the ancient remains in both orange and crimson light and its reflection on the River Nile.
You'll see both the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Nobles from above and even see the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, perhaps the most impressive of all for its massive size and seeming unity with the surrounding landscape. No wonder the temple complex, carved into the rock, has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
With the flight over, you'll receive a flight certificate, which will accredit you as having experienced this unforgettable morning. And finally, from the landing zone, we'll take you back to your hotel in Luxor.
Pickup
Please note that Luxor hotel/boat pickup and drop–off services are included in this activity for those staying on the east bank (right bank) of the Nile River. If your hotel or boat in Luxor is outside this designated area, we'll arrange a meeting point on the east bank. On return, you'll be dropped off at the same location as when you were picked up.
A word of advice
We recommend that you reserve your hot air balloon ride as early in your vacation as possible. This way, if there is a cancellation due to adverse weather conditions, you can reschedule to take the ride on a different day.
