Experience the magic of Luxor from a breathtaking perspective on this three-hour hot air balloon journey. As the sun rises over the ancient city, watch the desert glow and the Nile shimmer beneath you, a photographer’s dream and a romantic’s paradise.

Step into your balloon basket and feel the thrill as it gently lifts off the ground. Guided by the wind and your expert pilot, you’ll glide over some of Egypt’s most iconic landmarks: the legendary Valley of the Kings, the majestic Temple of Hatshepsut, and the lush green fields surrounding traditional villages.

From above, marvel at the dramatic mountains, elegant hotels, cruise ships on the Nile, and the timeless streets of Luxor. Capture stunning sunrise shots, share unforgettable moments, and create memories that will last forever.

This isn’t just a flight, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience perfect for adventurers, dreamers, and anyone seeking magic in the skies.

I’ve lived in Egypt before so the delays in moving off to the airfield were nothing new to me, but meant that some quite elderly people had to ‘run’ to make it to our designated balloon. The individual cells in the basket are small, but everyone got on. The pilot was obviously very experienced and took us over a five mile course which included views over most of the major sites on the West Bank from Seti I’s temple to Malqata in the south. Excellent landing. Enjoyable and not too expensive.

Met een ballon van de Luxor Westbank naar de Eastbank. Schitterend uitzicht.

Der Ballonfahrt war ein absolute High light der Reise! Bootsfahrt über den Nil war ok. Kaffee und künstliche Süssgebäck. Aber der Ballonfahrt war echt der Hammer! Danke!

Perfect geregelde ballonvaart over de Westbank in Luxor. Stipte pick-up aan het hotel (de avond voordien een informatief bericht met de vraag om een copie van de paspoorten door te sturen per whatsapp), korte rit naar het winterpalace hotel, boottocht over de Nijl om vervolgens in een kleine wegen naar de startplaats te rijden. Voorzie wel voldoende warme kleren. Een onvergetelijke ballonvaart boven Luxor.
