  • Luxor - Don’t miss the opportunity to witness the sunrise over Luxor from a hot air balloon. Get picked up from your hotel just before sunrise and head to the starting point on the west bank of Luxor. On the motorboat crossing the River Nile, enjoy a refreshing breakfast of cake, tea, and coffee. Once permission to fly has been granted, head to the take-off site where you can take captivating photos and watch the balloon inflation process. When everything is ready for the flight, rise up from the heart of Luxor and witness the world’s largest open-air museum. Your flight will last approximately from 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on the weather.

  • Valley of the Kings - Your first stop is the iconic Valley of the Kings, where admission is free. Explore this sprawling desert site with your guide, marveling at the ancient tombs that have stood the test of time. Delve into the history of the pharaohs as you visit a selection of tombs, each with its unique historical significance.

  • Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari - Next on the itinerary is the remarkable Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari, a grand complex built by Queen Hatshepsut in the 15th century BC. Marvel at the colonnaded terraces, statues, and reliefs that adorn this magnificent structure, paying homage to the queen’s divine birth and portraying her divine associations.

  • Colossi of Memnon - Stand in awe before the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues representing Pharaoh Amenhotep III. These silent sentinels, made from quartzite sandstone, once guarded the entrance to the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III.

  • Valley of the Queens - Proceed to explore the magnificent Valley of the Queens, home to the tomb of the Great Queen Nefertari. Spend one hour immersed in the beauty and historical significance of this royal burial site.

  • Temple of Karnak - Then, explore the Temple of Karnak, a vast complex of temples, columns, and chapels guarded by an imposing double row of sphinxes. Imagine the grandeur of the past as you navigate through this maze-like structure, connected to the Temple of Luxor by a 1.5-mile stretch of sphinxes.

Awesome tour with Ahmed - Great 1 day tour of all the sites you need to see in Luxor. My guide was Ahmed and he did a great job in providing history of the various sites and also recommending the best tombs to go inside. It was nice to understand the importance of sites by the various different dynasties that created them. The ballon ride in the morning was great as well, provided a beautiful sunrise view. The driver Muhammad was also exceptional in promptly getting us from place to place and always ready to go once we were finished. Great tour, I recommend for anyone on a time crunch and wanting to view the major sites in one day.
