Itinerary
50 min
After early morning pickup from your central Luxor hotel or cruise ship, travel by air-conditioned vehicle to the launch site on the west bank of the Nile River. On arrival, enjoy a light pre-flight refreshments, and meet your expert pilot and ground crew. Next, listen to a comprehensive safety briefing and step inside the balloon’s sturdy basket with your pilot and several other passengers. Then, feel your adrenaline surge as the brightly colored balloon rises into the sky for your approximate 30-45 minutes flight.
Take in breathtaking views of Luxor and all its ancient temples and tombs. See the lives of farmers and other locals as your glide over fields, where people irrigate their land, gather crops, and care for their animals. To ensure all passengers have an equal opportunity to see and snap some amazing photos, the pilot will be sure to rotate the balloon during the flight.

Fantastic hot air balloon
Horus Tours organized a fantastic hot air balloon ride for us in Luxor. Watching the city and its historic sites from above was simply mesmerizing. The colors of the sunrise and the quiet of the early morning made it a perfect start to the day.

Beautiful view
Beautiful view at the Valley of the Kings and the other Temples! The experience was amazing and the price was very attractive!The staff was also very nice.What I didn't like was that the actual flying time was only 35 minutes and maximum altitude was 285m height. I RECOMMEND it to everyone when they have the chance!
