69 tours  ·  from $8

Karnak on the east bank, the tombs on the west, and a ferry in between. These 15 sort the balloon dawns, the two-bank days and the trips in from the coast by price, by pace and by how early the minibus leaves.

“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…”
