Hot Air Balloon Ride in Luxor Egypt with Transfers Included - Watching the balloons prepare for launch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,319 reviews · from $75Our pick

Float over Luxor at sunrise with hotel transfers, an English-speaking guide, and views of Karnak, Hatshepsut Temple, and the Nile.

“A must if you are staying in Luxor is the Hod Hod Soliman hot air balloon ride. We were picked up from our hotel on the East Bank early in the morning by private bus and taken on a short boat trip to the West Bank. The balloon take off and landing was so smooth and Pilot Ali was safe and entertaining as we floated above the mind blowing Valley of the Kings and the Nile. But book early on in your holiday as they often have to cancel if it’s too windy, safety first.”

“We really loved our experience. Our driver was the best driver in egypt! The first driver to not drive like a psycho and was given the best hospitality. We loved him. The way everything was planned out was great. We really didn't want a tour guide because we like to see things we want to see but we ended up still having a tour guide, he was good the first day then a complete different person the second day so it was strange to us. He was very informative but we didn't like how we were always taken to a place where they wanted to make us buy an overpriced…”

Ride a sunrise balloon over Luxor, then visit the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut, Karnak, Luxor Temple, and more in one long day.

“Hot air balloon was the highlight of the tour. Doing the hot air balloon and full day tour is a good option to save time and money. However the stop at alabaster manufacturing unit was not necessary and time consuming. Also it would be great to know in advance that lunch is not paid as there was no mention of it during the tour. Also for people who don’t want to have lunch at the same restaurant there wasn’t any other option available around .”
