The experience was great, but we didn't know if it was happening for real: although the driver picked us up as arranged at 4.30am, we were allowed to fly only ca. 2 hours later. If the weather isn't good, we should be notified in advance and delay a bit the pick up, for example.

4 stars because we took off a little late for sunrise, some had already taken off for 20/30 minutes

Amazing experience. Great views of Valley of the Kings and queens and the river Nile very well organised considering the size of the operation

Everything was great, only complain I have is that this product is called sunrise balloon ride, but the flight was too late to view sunrise… when asked, they said sunrise view is not guaranteed.

We had a wonderful hot air balloon experience in Luxor. The entire operation was very well organized and ran on time, which we really appreciated. A special mention to our pilot, Abdo, whose lively and engaging commentary made the ride even more enjoyable. He pointed out key landmarks and kept the atmosphere light and informative throughout. The views at sunrise were absolutely breathtaking — a truly unforgettable way to see Luxor. Highly recommended for anyone visiting!

Not to be missed experience, well organised, our guide was excellent. Pickup was on time, even had an unexpected bonus boat trip across the river to get to the take off site. Safety briefing explained all we needed to know. Balloon pilot had over 2000hrs flying time and the ground crew knew what they were doing, safely getting 32 people into and out of the basket. Whole experience took about three hours, great value for money
