Air balloon sunrise

It was fantastic, we paid 50 € /pers. You can find cheaper on the spot but in reality it's cheap for the experience it was. Ali the captain was great, perfect nothing to say, I recommend 200%

Fantastic, book now

Collected on time and transported to location of flights. Fantastic watching all the balloons inflate and take to the sky. We paid $20 extra for a flight that had a maximum of 20 passengers - definitely worth it. Meant we took off after all the big balloons, but then that was fantastic watching them take off into the sky. Certainly less crowded in a smaller basket. Raga, the pilot, was excellent at pointing out all the sites and gave us a very gentle landing. Highly recommend

Balloon Ride with Hod Hod Soliman is a Dream!

Unforgettable Sunrise Balloon Ride with Hod Hod Soliman! Just did the sunrise hot air balloon ride over Luxor with Hod Hod Soliman and it was absolutely fantastic—a true bucket-list dream come true! 🌅🎈 From the moment Abdullah picked us up and we met Mohamed, our incredibly professional and friendly guide, picked us up at Jolie Ville Hotel at 4:15 AM, everything was seamless. He handled all communication perfectly, kept us informed, and made the early start feel easy and exciting. He offered tea and biscuits while watching the balloons inflate, set the perfect tone, and volunteered to take pictures of us. Our pilot, Ragab, was a master of the skies! He flew us gently over the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and lush green fields, giving us jaw-dropping views as the sun rose in a blaze of pink and gold. The highlight? The famous “Egyptian landing”—a fun, controlled bounce into the sugarcane fields that had everyone laughing and cheering. Pure joy! The whole team was top-notch—safe, fun, and full of passion. We got flight certificates, great photos, and even a little celebration afterward. Back at the hotel by 7:30AM with memories for a lifetime. Worth every early alarm and penny. If you're in Luxor, just do it! Hod Hod Soliman delivers magic in the sky. Highly recommend Mohamed and Ragab—true legends! 🙌

Trustworthy even though trip was canceled.

Even though our flight was canceled due to windy weather, Omar’s company is first rate! Upon scheduling, he provided information and communication promptly. His staff was there to pick us up. On time. And even after our trip was canceled, my sister forgot her glasses on the bus. Omar arranged for the glasses to be sent back to our cruise ship, before we left. This company is honest, trustworthy, and has excellent customer service. They found the prescription glasses and arranged for delivery, even though they didn’t necessarily have to. I would trust them and take them again, if only we had more time.

An Egyptian balloon ride to remember!

Spectacular from start to end, we had to wait for air traffic control to give the go ahead, as soon as received the staff, team gave the greatest high fives, shouts, sprang into action to inflate the balloons it was a joy to watch. Our guide Hassan was fab, funny, enthusiastic. Our pilot Ramadan was awesome, the trip exceeded my expectations and this was my first ride. Great views, great team, staff and excellent pilot. Thank you,

Brilliant ballooning

I’ve never been ballooning before and this trip totally met my expectations. So exciting when the klaxon sounds to confirm the conditions are good for flying all the balloons start inflating. The hustle bustle and excitement of watching 43 balloons set off was epic. Ramadan our pilot was great, checking we were all comfortable and happy. Super smooth landing in a little field in a village with the crew there to help land the balloon. Loved every minute

Amazing hot air balloon ride

Had a great trip in the hot air balloon in Luxor. Pilot Ramadan was really good and confident in the sky, he made jokes to keep us entertained in the basket. He also explained the history of the sites we visited on the journey as well.
