Totally worth it!! - Though probably you wake up- super early - after an intense day sightseeing and you'll doubt if its worth while... DO IT!
The spectacle even start when you get to the launching camp. seeing how the balloons get filled, then launching, being able to observe everything from those heights... and watching the sunrise ! (have to confess that several tears also came out to watch Ra reflected on the Nile). Simple unbelievable.
Of course it has an extreme factor to it. A hot air balloon, filled with fire, that rises to great heights is no minor task. But you forget the scare with the whole spectacle.

Sunrise Balloon Trip - My son and I had a great experience doing the sunrise hot air ballooning. The driver was waiting for us in the lobby before our scheduled pick up time. Everthing was well organized and the balloon pilot was amazing. We got to see a lot of historical sights from the air, and the landing was very smooth. Mirna was very responsive with communication.

Good experience in Egypt - My first time in ballon!!! Really amazing view. The company picked us up in the hotel, and a ride with car, with a boat to cross the river to the west side. It was good weather and soon we had the ballon flight!!! I took a lot photos!!!

Amazing balloon ride over Luxor - We took this balloon ride during our family trip to Egypt last week and it was an amazing experience. We did the sunrise balloon ride and Mirna coordinated the trip really well for us. From confirming pick up details to ensuring everything went smooth, Mirna was great to communicate with.
I highly recommend this tour.

If you do one thing in Egypt make sure it’s this! - This tour is an absolute must to - even if you only have 1 day in Luxor. Its safe, and the views are breathtaking. The guides and drivers are incredibly friendly and professional. Mirna organized our tour for us, from confirming our booking to helping us find our driver in the morning the day of. We had booked the morning tour but she gifted us a sunrise tour, which was an incredible experience. Huge thank you to Mirna for all her help, generosity and making our experience so memorable!

I recommend but with another agency - the balloon flight went very well. the aerial view of the temples changes from the usual visits. I recommend.
The downside I didn't appreciate was the hostage-taking of the person who brought us back. he didn't want to get us off the boat until we sent a notice. he stayed away from the shores to keep us from getting off.
he checked the phones of the other passengers for them to give an opinion.
