Pre-Dawn Pickup and Transfer

Hotel lights flicker as you’re met before sunrise at your Luxor stay. A comfortable transfer takes you to the launch site on the West Bank. Safety checks are handled by licensed, experienced pilots—your peace of mind is part of the experience. Light refreshments greet you while the balloon slowly inflates under the emerging light.

Sunrise Lift-Off

As the sun peeks over the horizon, the basket gently rises. The sunrise hot air balloon Luxor moment is unmatched in stillness and scale. Below, the Nile twists like a silk ribbon between ancient settlements and palm groves. The Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut, and village rooftops glide silently underfoot. This 40- to 60-minute flight feels like time itself slows to match the serenity.

Aerial View of Ancient Egypt

Flying above Luxor’s West Bank is the best place for hot air ballooning in Egypt. You see not just tombs and temples—but how they relate to the land, the Nile, and each other. The sky tells the whole story. Photography is welcome, but many travelers simply watch in stillness.

Touchdown and Return

Landing is smooth and celebratory, often met with cheers and smiles from fellow riders. Post-flight certificates are offered as souvenirs. You’ll be returned to your hotel or cruise ship just in time for breakfast—now with a fresh story to tell.
