Absolutely unforgettable sunrise ballooning experience From the very first moment, everything was perfectly organized. The pickup was on time, the team was professional and reassuring, and the whole experience felt incredibly safe. Watching the sunrise over Luxor from the sky is simply magical — a once-in-a-lifetime view. The calm, the colors, and the silence make it truly unique. Special mention to our excellent pilot Ramadan, who made the flight even more enjoyable with his professionalism and smooth handling. A flawless experience that I highly recommend without hesitation.
Nice experience but a lot of waiting between the moment we are picked up and the flight itself. Besides, no real flyover of the valley of kings,
It was a great and unforgetable experience. The tour office is reliable and extremely organised. There were no delays and everything went great as it was mentioned in the programme.
An absolutely fantastic experience! It’s important to know that the company sets the start time. After some back-and-forth, we agreed on a 4:15 AM hotel pickup (originally planned for later). We actually took off shortly after sunrise around 5:30 AM. Although we were among the later launches, it didn't take away from the experience at all—the colors of the morning sky were stunning. The pilot was sensational, clearly very experienced and professional. A big plus was the basket size; we were in a smaller basket with only 20 people, rather than the usual 32, which made it feel much more personal. We reached an altitude of 3,350 ft and enjoyed perfect weather conditions during our 40-minute flight. The landing was incredibly smooth. Don't let the fixed start times stress you out; the experience is breathtaking no matter when you launch. A very reliable company and highly recommended!
Very well organized. Our balloon made it across the Nile.
A little disappointed to have paid for the first flight and to have left with the second series of flights (so sunrise on the runway) but our flight lasted 1h05 and was still a great experience.
No, because with over 30 people we were not advised by our guide as I do not like close physical contacts.
Very nice experience, the organization was punctual and effective. We had the experiences at dawn!
Unfortunately our balloon trip was cancelled due to high wind speed and direction of wind but we were refunded within 48hrs.
