Hot Air Balloon

Hot air balloon rides in Luxor are an absolute must-do for any tourist visiting Egypt. Offering an unparalleled experience, these flights provide breathtaking views to cherish forever. Taking place early in the morning these rides offer a unique panoramic view of Luxor's ancient monuments and temples from up high. The best time to do these rides is during sunrise or sunset.

The balloons, which are quite spacious, soar to heights of around 1,000 feet, providing a bird's eye view of Luxor's iconic landmarks. Prices for these unforgettable experiences start at around $200 per person for a one-hour flight, including transfers. You are accompanied by a professional guide who safely pilots the hot air balloon while explaining the historical landmarks you pass, such as Karnak and Queen Hatshepsut’s temple. A hot air balloon is a convenient and exhilarating way to see most of the city in a short- to two-hour flight. They are often inclusive of transport from your hotel to the launch site and back as well. 

Flights typically last around 45 minutes to 1 hour, with the entire experience lasting approximately 2 to 3 hours from start to finish. During the flight, you can expect stunning views of Luxor's iconic landmarks, including the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, the Colossi of Memnon, Luxor Temple, and the Nile River.
