Great experience & organization
A well organized, zero problems, truly wonderful experience of a lifetime. The only balloon to actually land on the planned site, thanks to the company's pilot. Nice duration (approx. 30'). Definitely recommended!

Breathtaking
This was an amazing experience and well worth the price! Khalid was excellent and made the whole trip fun from pick up to drop off. Ali was also wonderful and very organized. The views were absolutely incredible and not to be missed.

Hot air balloon over the west bank with views of the valley of the kings/queens/colloses of memnon!
The whole experience was very smoothly delivered! Enjoyable! The tour was run by Khaled who had positive energy from the moment he collected us! The pilot Ali also piloted the balloon so that both take off and landing were very smooth! Highly recommend for a 4:30 start.

The best experience of a trip to Egypt!
I thought it would take a while to board, but I'm glad I didn't wait 30 minutes after arriving at the airfield! Maybe it depends on the weather.
Water and snacks were supposed to be served, but this did not. For when you're waiting a long time? Water should have been brought from the hotel.

Short short balloon ride
I was a little disappointed by this excursion. Our balloon seemed to be way overloaded with rather large people - so our balloon struggled to get off the ground, and we hardly moved at all. We’d have been lucky to go more than 80m from the launch site. We had a great view of the valley of the kings, but really didn’t get to see much else of Luxor from the air. Unlike other balloons with less people that took off and looked like they were at least 500m-1km away.
On the flip side, my friend was extremely happy that we went hardly anywhere cos he was packing it. 🤷🏻♀️😂
After our first trip was cancelled at the last minute - and having to do 2 330am wake ups ina row - I was a little sad we didn’t get to see much of Luxor from the air but glad we got up at least.
Does make for some cracker photos.

Best $75 spent
We did our excursion with Hod Hod Solimon Balloon. It's a short drive to the other side of the Nile to the launch site. There were about 20 balloons at the site. After pre launch instructions we entered the basket that has cubicles allowing 4 people. The overall basket can hold up to 32 people depending on size. The arrangement allowed us to have at least one unobstructed view out of the basket. The takeoff was amazing as multiple balloons were getting airbourne at the same time. The ride was approximately 40 minutes and floats over the Valley of the Kings and Queens and some farmland. The views are amazing especially at sunrise.
We felt safe during this experience. We purchased the ride video and wished there was a preview before as it would have been a hard pass.
