Taking a hot air balloon ride is a premier activity while in Luxor. Witness the break of dawn over Luxor from the vantage point of a hot air balloon after a pick-up service from the early morning. Commute to the Nile River’s west bank, and find your place in a shared basket of a hot air balloon for a flight that lasts between 30 to 45 minutes. Savour this unique balloon journey across Egypt’s largest open-air museum’s skies and observe the dawn light up Luxor’s sky over the majestic temples and mountain ranges below. Get a bird’s eye view of the region’s renowned temples and enjoy the stunning views of the Karnak temple, Hatshepsut temple, Valley of the Queens and more.
