Amazing experience.

Really good experience. The pilot was very good. Whilst everything seemed a little rushed to start with once up. The experience was great.

First time riding a hot air balloon above incredible landscape with unbelievable scenery

Driver was waiting for us right on time in front of our hotel. was waiting in the van near the ferry dock for like 30 mins for other riders, maybe ? wish we were in the air longer and also flew closer to Hatshepsut. It was a great experience overall.

Beautiful!

Our group (9 pers.) was picked up at the hotel on time at 5:00 a.m. by minibus and taken directly to the starting place. If there were only two of us, the pickup would have been at 4:15 a.m. (because then different hotels would have been approached). Today, around 50 balloons from various organizers have been launched. The gondola size is adjusted to the group size. We got a 20-man gondola together with another group. The flight duration was announced to us on site as "about 30 minutes, sometimes more, sometimes less" (depending on flight conditions or finding a suitable landing site). We were around. 60 minutes in the air. At the time of booking, we had ticked "German" as a language, but only got English-speaking guides (which was no problem for us though). Attention: It gets extremely hot in the gondola. It is best to put on a hat to protect your hair. Overall conclusion: Recommended!

If you are contemplating it, do it - but book online

I had a great time with Mustafa as our guide for the hot air balloons over Luxor. Just bring sunglasses cause it will be bright by the time you are up there!
