Hot Air Balloon in Luxor

Itinerary

Luxor
Pass by

Your stay in Luxor would not quite be the same without a bird’s eye view of the city from one a hot air balloons. Departing from your Luxor hotel or cruise ship just before dawn, cross the River Nile to the West Bank – where your hot air balloon awaits. After a safety briefing and introduction to your ground crew and pilot, you will climb into the balloon's basket and get ready for lift off. It is then time for the gentle rise into the dawn sky. Away from the daytime crowds, you will drift peacefully over the west Bank of Luxor and sights such as the monuments of Thebes. The early morning sun rising over the East Bank will illuminate the city and the surrounding mountains.

Amazing hot air balloon experience in Luxor!

We had such an unforgettable experience with the hot air balloon in Luxor. Watching the sunrise above the temples and the West Bank was absolutely breathtaking! Al Hassany Travel organized everything perfectly from start to finish. The communication was excellent, the timing was perfect, and the whole team was professional, friendly, and very helpful. Everything went smoothly without a single problem. We truly enjoyed every moment of the experience and felt very safe and comfortable throughout the trip. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Luxor! 🤍

Hot air balloon

The experience from the start to finish was an incredible experience. The driver was punctual, the pilot was safe and reliable and we landed safely. The views at the top were breathtaking! The carriage was a little cramp, but it was a fun experience regardless. Would 10/10 recommend!

Unforgettable experience

It was an amazing experience. I would recommend it highly. We got off to a late start because it was misty it was brilliant that they waited for the best views and the safest possible trip. This in no way made the experience any less memorable in fact the whole morning was enhanced by an unexpected boat trip. We decided to pay a little extra 700 Egyptian pounds for the whole group so next to nothing each! And sailed right up to the hotel. With a guide on board pointing out the sights. This all added up to a day we will remember always. I had looked on online and it was recommended that we book in the hotel and we were so glad we did Alhassany travel agency in particular Radwa and Mr Mahmoud were so helpful it was I understand from other guests cheaper than buying in the street and I’m going to guess safer too Thank you for organising such an amazing day.

Despite being weary of Heights I had the most amazing experience. Our Pilot was full of humour and made all the passengers feel at ease. I would give him 100% a really unforgettable memory. The view from the Balloon was stunning. Highly recommended ALHASSANY TRAVEL.
