Best experience!

This experience was honestly one of the very best of my life. I went mostly because my teen son really wanted to, but I'm SO glad we did it. I was nervous beforehand but within seconds of leaving the ground I had the hugest smile plastered on my face for the rest of the flight. The tour guide, balloon crew and pilot (Mohames) were awesome. Highly recommend making this a part of your Egypt experience!!!

Amazing experience

Picking up and dropping off was on time and well organised, and staying on the east coast you also got two boat trips. The balloon trip was safe and the staff were conscientious. The sunrise and balloon view was beautiful!

Sunrise hot air balloon over the Nile

We had an amazing sunrise hot air balloon experience over the Nile and desert. Taha was very helpful in getting us all there on time and making sure we were all comfortable. Captain Kareem was amazing explaining everything to us and showing us the beautiful sights. And the ground crew were very professional, giving us a wonderful smooth landing. I would definitely recommend using Sindbad and would happily go again.

Paying 1st ballon and flying 2nd balloon...

The baloon trip was nice and the captain flew very safely BUT we booked 1st balloon (for sunrise - more expensive:50euros/pax) and the company changed us to 2nd balloon (30euros/pax) because it was more convenient for them. We were very disapointed to miss the sunrise, moreover the company didn't give us a discount.

Great fun!

Brilliant experience, despite the 5am start. Crossing the Nile on little ferry boats was a fun start, followed by a short minibus transfer. Boarding was a bit chaotic and rushed with dozens of balloons taking off from the same site, but once we took off it was smooth sailing. Our pilot was extremely experienced, informative and reassuring. The views of the various West Bank sites, plus the sunrise over the Nile were phenomenal. Landing in a random field was also rather exciting, with the ground crew doing an excellent job bringing us down.

Amazing experience

Very well organised Balloon flight by Taha. Enjoyed every minute of it. Beautiful views, at least 15 minutes before actual sunrise in the air. I would definitely recommend this trip! We also could be dropped of at the karnak temple on the eastbank after the flight. Eventho we were picked up at our guesthouse on the west. Very good service, when we come back I'll book again with them.
