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 .”
