Luxor: Hot Air Balloon Ride Lifetime Experience

A hot air balloon ride is one of the best things to do in Luxor. Experience Luxor at sunrise from a hot air balloon, after early morning pickup, travel to the west bank of the Nile River, and board a shared balloon basket for a 30 to 40 minutes flight. Enjoy once in a lifetime balloon ride in the sky of Egypt's biggest open-air museum and watch the sunrise illuminating the sky of Luxor over the great temples and mountains below. See the area’s famous temples from above and enjoy the breathtaking views of Karnak temple, Hatshepsut temple, Valley of the Queens and so much more. This area has often been described as the biggest open-air museum and a view from the sky supports the description. The hot air balloon trip takes off everyday from West Bank, however confirmation in advance is still highly recommended. With door-to-door transportation included.
