Super and magnificent experience! PLUS !!!

This attraction is highly recommended. After booking online, I actually had some doubts because I had booked the private guided tour that same day that started at 9am. We were actually at a location in Marsa alam on vacation but I wanted to experience this balloon ride so I could see the sun rise over the valley of the kings with my own eyes and believe me... it's even more beautiful I thought! You will be picked up punctually in time for your hotel (make your whatsapp work because for safety reasons, you must have a photo of the front and back of your and your companions' passports on each trip). So you will be picked up promptly when you are taken to the site from where the balloons take off. Don't bring too big a camera because this is actually forbidden by the police. Once in the air, you can already get what you want to film. We were able to take the most beautiful pictures of both Luxor and the Valley of the Kings while floating in the balloon for 45 minutes. I would just like to say that even people with a fear of heights have very little to fear from this balloon ride. Given that it is always warm here and there is usually quite little to no wind, land the balloon basket as it is supposed to land again and again. On board there are experienced captains on each balloon and on the ground there are dozens of people who hold the balloon basket straight when landing so you can easily get out of the basket. Landing in itself takes place a few hundred meters further in the fields of farmers. Highly recommended!

Unforgettable Hot Air Balloon Experience

My hot air balloon ride over Luxor was truly an unforgettable experience! Floating peacefully over the Nile River, the Valley of the Kings, and the temples as the sun rose was absolutely breathtaking. Captain Ragab, and crew members Yousry and Asdallah were incredibly skilled and professional, making me feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire journey. Their expertise and calm guidance added to the beauty of the experience. Everything was well-organized, from the early morning pick-up to the smooth landing. It’s a magical and unique way to see Luxor from above—I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Bucket list

This is a must do! I’m scared of heights so I was a little nervous but once we got into the ballon I was totally fine. Captain Abdullah was great. The whole ride and landing were smooth. Seeing the sunrise and the view of Valley of the Kings was as magnificent. Our tour guide Yousury was great - super friendly and explained everything. I highly recommended!

Luxor Hot Air Balloon

The ride was amazing. Yousry made it that way. Without him I don’t think I would have done it without him. The captain was good but I cannot remember his name. The cute kids maul you and want money, and they said not to give them any money but we could not help ourselves. 🤷

Great!!

It was great, little negative the balloons are too full. Too bad it spoils the view and the experience a bit but apart from that the organizers were great and the view remains superb nonetheless

Flying Americans

Captain Ali and Manager Hasan did a grand job. They were professional and guided us to see a beautiful Egyptian sky. My wife and I highly recommend and we were able to experience the booking thanks to Go Ahead EF Tours.
