We had a great sunrise flight with Ragab as our pilot. We felt safe in the air and the views were spectacular. Some of the logistics were a bit chaotic but there was a system and it worked. Great landing and a bucket list item ticked off. Recommend.

Abdo gave us an excellent ride in perfect conditions. This was the highlight of our 3 week journey around Egypt. Highly recommend! Communication before and during booking was excellent and the whole experience went smooth. Paid 90USD for first basket (first launch of the day), this was between Christmas and new years.

Fantastic experience to float together with the family above the historic sites and the Nile. The silence, the many colored balloons around us by the warm glow of the rising sun: magical! We were able to fully enjoy it because the organization went well and sympathetically (thanks to Jousry) and because our pilot Abdul took off skilfully and ensured a very smooth landing. We flew 30-40 minutes. Highly recommended!

I was picked up around 4:30, however waiting everyone, then going to the baloon area and having organizational chaos, it took them a while to find out who is there from which hotel and we were waiting there almost as one of the last groups to take off, while many baloons were already up before the sunrise. We could only catch when sun was already out. Our baloon driver kept talking very loud and making jokes while kept pulling the gas to make a rhythm and talk loud, it was very noisy and disturbing for no reason while all i wanted to hear is enjoying the view. Overall beside loud driver, and late take off, it’s really amazing to fly with a hot air baloon over Luxor.

This was our first hot air balloon ride and so it was a unique experience. We enjoyed the views and it lasted long enough. It was nice and warm on the basket of course. We were given the option of an upgrade to a smaller basket - 20 people instead of 40 so it didn’t feel crowded. There were many other companies running balloons so I’m not sure this one is any different and so perhaps not worth the slightly higher cost. The pilot was competent and safe.

Fully reliable. Well organized. Good communication. Flexible (we needed to reschedule due to weather conditions). Experience worth trying for the flying itself plus the views.
