Unforgettable Going Away Trip - Great experience, love the beautiful view of Luxor at sunrise. The pick up service saved me from going there myself in the early morning. I will definitely recommend it to my friends.

A Must Do When in Luxor - This was a number one thing for me to accomplish in Luxor. You couldn't ask for a better price. I know there are mixed reviews for this tour, but everything ran smoothly from my perspective, and I was able to see beautiful Luxor from the air at sunrise. The tour operator got us to the launch site on time, without incident, and arrived safely back at my hotel when it was over. I definitely recommend this tour when your in Luxor.

Great experience! - The hot air balloon experience was nothing short of spectacular. The view from the balloon was absolutely breathtaking—you could see the entire Valley of the Kings on one side and the majestic Nile on the other. It was a sight to behold! The crew was highly professional, ensuring our safety and comfort throughout the journey. A special thanks to our talented pilot, who skillfully steered the balloon and executed a perfect landing. Additionally, Ziad was incredibly attentive, taking care of our every need with a smile. This experience was truly unforgettable and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a unique adventure.

Amazing view! - The first trip was cancelled due to weather, but we were able to ride on the second day! The view from the sky was amazing! By the way, I don't speak English, but I was able to ride without any problems. Cell phones are fine, but please note that you cannot take pictures of the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut with a camera!

Well organized magical ballon flight over Luxor! - The ballon trip was magical. A view from the air of the sights we visited the day before gave us a different perspective. Everything was well organized from the pickup at the hotel, boat ride and ballon trip and return. We were well taken care of!

Trip canceled seemingly arbitrarily - The trip started out great and the guide was on time to pick us up. We continued the journey by boat and then by taxi. The police insists on escorting the taxis to the departure field, however we had to wait 30 minutes in the car till the police was ready to leave. Once arrived at the field the balloons were already laid out and ready, but we had to wait till the administrator of the field (military) gave us the green light for departure. After waiting for a bit more than one hour and missing the sunrise, the administrator decided to cancel all balloon flights for the day citing “bad weather” as the reason. Our pilot was also confused about this decision as in his professional opinion the weather was excellent (cool, very low wind, minimal wind sheer). The pilot also said that this is a common occurrence and that this situation of personnel taking decisions about the safety of weather conditions is unique to this balloon experience in luxor (compared to his experience flying in Dubai, Cappadocia and others). However, he says that his complaints about process fall on deaf ears and that sadly he cannot do anything about it. I booked this experience for my family and we ended up waking up very early just to sit around for 4 hours. Sadly it was our last day in Luxor so we were not able to retry the next day. If you want to do this experience, book it for the start of your stay in Luxor, and be prepared to try again if it gets cancelled.
