Start around 4:30 am with pickup in an air-conditioned vehicle, then reach the West Bank launch site for a safety briefing and sunrise flight. An English-speaking guide, including team members such as Abdo or Youssri, points out Karnak, Hatshepsut Temple, the Colossi of Memnon, and the Nile from the basket.

“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.”

“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 .”
