2.Luxor Hot Air Balloon Ride and Day Tour With Meals

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 255 reviews · 20 hours · from $270

Leave Hurghada around midnight for Luxor, rise over the Valley of the Kings at sunrise, then visit Hatshepsut, Karnak, and the Colossi of Memnon with an Egyptologist. A felucca ride and lunch are included, but wind can cancel the balloon flight and the drive makes this a very long day.

“We had the best time! Our driver Ahmed was amazing. We had him all day from pick up early morning until driving home. Hassan our tour guide was very informative. He gave lots of information and answered all our questions. Even when there was an issue in buying tickets - Hassan went out of his way and sorted this for us. It was a very hot and long day, we were able to change the schedule of our events so we could head back to our hotel earlier. Honestly, both Hassan and Ahmed were exceptional! The hot air balloon was breathtaking. We have never seen anything so spectacular. Our captain…”

3.2-Day Luxor Highlights & Hot Air Balloon & Hotel

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 89 reviews · 2 days · from $170Best value

Travel from Hurghada to Luxor with an English-speaking guide, visit Luxor and Karnak Temples, walk along Sphinx Avenue, and ride a hot air balloon at sunrise. Guides such as Martina, Ramez, Mahmoud, and Hamdy are praised for clear, personal explanations. A 3-star hotel, meals, and private transport are included.

“Our journey started in the evening with our tour guide, Marwa Fatafeat Elsoker, who was excellent. She explained everything in detail with clear wording, she is very friendly and open minded person I highly recommend booking her as your English guide. The journey with our driver, Islam, was very smooth, and we reached Luxor ahead of schedule. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with our stay at the Maryland Hotel. The service was poor, and the room was dirty and dusty. I was unable to sleep at night due to concerns about bed bugs and itching. Overall, the tour itself was perfect.”
