Super Amazing! - The trip was amazing. Air balloon during sunrise experience was above expectations! They were on time and this is respectful. Our tour guide, Ahmed Bahaa was super friendly and helpful and discussed everything easily. He was flexible and helped us to see unique places such as perfume store. For the temples, if you want to visit them there will be extra fees. You can buy tickets either online by the agency or at the entrance windows. Only visa is available, not cash (you can pay for EGP, US dollars, Euros)
