Must do experience.
We had a really lovely time. We were collected in a mini bus of 12 passengers, taken to the boats the cross the Nile with other bus loads of tourists. After crossing we again were bussed to the location. Approximately 25 balloons full with 32 passengers each took off. It was a magnificent sight. The winds blew us back across to the East bank again and we got to see the whole of Luxor. We landed in a field of sugar cane. The workers were excellent and so was our pilot. Don’t forget to put money in the pot for the workers and to tip the pilot. Awesome experience for all. Very smoothly run event. The ride home was very well organised and we were all done inside 3 hours!

Have an extraordinary experience here!
The best word! Luxor's hot air balloon ride is one of the most affordable experiences in the world, so I definitely recommend it! It was worth getting up early in the morning, and the sunrise from the magic hour was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. The key is to choose a company that can depart at sunrise.

We had a lot of fun with the trip. Staff was very helpful and friendly including our pilot Ali.
Definitely recommend the sunrise duration and if going during winter to dress warm and comfortably.

Great view of the temples
Great views of the sunrise from the west bank. Well coordinated. I recommend the 4,30am pickup time.

The Worst Hot Air Balloon Experience in Luxor: A Critical Review
I would like to express my deep disappointment over the recent hot air balloon ride experience with your company in Luxor. The basket was overloaded, exceeding the maximum capacity, resulting in an uncomfortable and dangerous experience. My boyfriend suffered burns on his neck due to lack of space and proximity to the heating element.
Despite the driver's warning that the basket had already reached its limit with 20 people, the organizer named Halil added two more people. After talking with this couple, we discovered that Halil charged these passengers double and transferred them from one balloon to another for an hour before placing them in ours.
This behavior is unacceptable and reflects badly on the integrity of your company. I urge prompt investigation and corrective action to avoid similar incidents in the future. I recommend others consider alternatives for a safe and enjoyable hot air balloon experience in Luxor.
After the trip we told Halil, who showed no interest and we wrote to the local company to explain what had happened and to this day I still have not received a response.

Arnaque au film et vidéo : ne prenez pas
Beaucoup de temps perdu entre le moment du rdv (4h15) et l'embarquement dans la montgolfière à 6h30, par 4 groupes de 5 personnes. Attention : cela est déconseillé à toutes les personnes ne pouvant pas escalader le panier en osier d' 1 mètre de haut (il y a 1 trou pour mettre les pieds à 0,5m et 0,75 m) car il n'y a pas d'échelle.
Très joli moment ensuite, même pour ceux qui ont le vertige comme moi, il suffit de ne pas se pencher. Notre ballon a touché un autre ballon en plein air, mais il n'y a pas eu de soucis. L'atterrissage se fait en douceur. Mais perte de temps ensuite ce qui fait qu'au lieu d'avoir fini à 7h15 comme prévu, on a été libéré avec 1h de retard.
Par contre, GROSSE ARNAQUE avec le film et les vidéos proposés à la fin à 25 €, c'est du VOL car les quelques photos sont floues et il n'y a aucun film. Donc, ne vous faites pas avoir et refusez leur proposition de film qui n'existe pas et ne perdez pas 25 €. Cela a gâché ce beau souvenir de vol en montgolfière.
