Totally awesome experience
Just amazing! This was a real bucket list for my husband and I on our visit to Luxor. Arriving in the desert in the morning chill, the drama of around 30 balloons being inflated and lifting off together as dawn broke was quite emotional. Felt very safe in the hands of our pilot Abdo and he manoeuvred the balloon so everyone could get a good view of the sights. Impressive landing and very smooth transfer back to our hotel afterwards. Wonderful experience.

Beautiful safe feeling balloon ride with Abdo.
Wonderful flight with Abdo. The pickup was punctual and everything went smoothly. Be prepared to wait - dress warmly on cold mornings. The five of us felt in safe hands with Abdo and the ride was smooth and informative. Appreciated Abdo giving everyone a chance to see the sights. The view is of farmland, the Nile, Luxor and the Valley of the Kings. Only negative is the children selling at us while we waited. We felt sorry for them and the exotic birds they were handling. Other than that a great experience.

Awesome balloon ride with Abdo and team
Abdo was very professional, but attentive and calm. He made everyone feel at ease and made the experience worthwhile with a feeling of safety.
A great trip, he made sunrise which is important as this makes the trip.
I would recommend firstly a balloon ride as it is just awesome to see the ancient sites, Luxor itself and the Nile and beyond, but go with Adbo’s team.

Great Views
The first half of our excursion felt very unorganized and a little chaotic. When they placed us in the basket of the hot air balloon, I think they should’ve considered everyone’s height and size. Some people were very uncomfortable and unable to see some of the views from the sky. Once we were up in the sky, it was the most beautiful experience. We got to see the sunrise and all of the mountains and landscapes of Luxor. The takeoff/landing crew really worked hard to make our experience as enjoyable as possible which I greatly appreciated. Overall wonderful experience.

A must do in Luxor
Abdo, the pilot, was absolutely fantastic and made sure we all got good pictures and were able to see the sunrise. The ground crew was amazing and worked very hard to make sure we all had a smooth and safe flight

Fabuleux !
Une expérience inoubliable absolument magique et magnifique à ne pas rater lors d’un passage à Luxor ! Réservation facile, l’agence est sérieuse et très professionnelle. Toute l’équipe est efficace, organisée et bienveillante. Omar, notre pilote, a été exceptionnel. Il a une grande expérience et maîtrise parfaitement son ballon avec précision et une aisance remarquable. Il nous a donné plein d’explications de ce qu’on a survolés et l’atterrissage s’est fait tout en douceur. On se sent en sécurité du début à la fin. Je recommande à 100%

Very sketch safety, grateful we didn't die
Did I get great photos? Yes. Did I enjoy this experience? No. Did we get within feet of hitting massive power lines? Yes. Was there any safety briefing given (or any safety protocol at all)? No. Did one of the guys make me feel incredibly uncomfortable as a solo female traveler? Yes.
TL;DR - if you feel like gambling with your life for some pics for the 'gram, this is for you. Google "Luxor hot air balloon accidents" before you book this though.

Hodhod balloon experience
A fun way to see Luxor from 3000 feet! Expert pilot and crew. Good communications beforehand. You'll have to get up early but it's worth it. Don't miss it.
