Highlights
  • Luxor - Begin this once-in-a-lifetime experience with an early-morning pickup from your hotel in Luxor at around 4:00 AM. Transfer by boat across the Nile River to West Bank, where you will be greeted by members of the staff with coffee, tea, and snacks. On the boat, the pilot of your balloon will brief you on safety measures and answer any questions you may have. Once the pilot goes over the pre-flight checklist, he’ll also brief the ground crew. After getting the balloon set up \- while always paying close attention to safety details \- he will begin the hot inflation process. \n\nWatch as the balloon begins to stand up and then begin to board with the assistance of the ground crew. The take-off is so gentle that most guests don’t even realize they’ve left the ground. As you become one with the wind, you’ll lose the sensation of motion and your perception of heights, finally feeling the tranquility of ballooning, disturbed only by the noise of balloon burners. The flight lasts up to 1 hour from take-off to landing and is also contingent on the day’s weather conditions. The pilot always has the interest of the passengers and himself in mind, with safety as a #1 priority.\n\nTake in breathtaking views of Luxor and all its ancient temples and tombs. See the lives of farmers and other locals as your glide over fields, where people irrigate their land, gather crops, and care for their animals. To ensure all passengers have an equal opportunity to see and snap some amazing photos, the pilot will be sure to rotate the balloon during the flight. Please keep in mind, your pilot is under the control of the Luxor Airport and must follow their directions. Before landing, you will be reminded of the proper landing position and then the pilot will look for a spot to land, usually in an empty field or desert area.

Amazing balloon experience - Everyone visiting Luxor should take this tour! The view is amazing, the staff are really professional and care about your safety. The tour also has included all the transportation to the balloon (cars and boat), I just needed to wake up and walk to the door of the boat and there was a nice van to take us to the place. This tour offers the best price for a stunning activity in Luxor! I also made other tours with Malak, he is the best and the most trustworthy agent for Egypt.

Highly Recommended - Dealing with Malak Tour Luxor is the best experience happened in my life. A very professional, friendly, kind and knowledgeable staff. Their target is to make sure you have the best service and very enjoyable time during your trip. One phone call with Mr. Malak ( company owner) after he asked me the right questions, how many people, dates, my plans, and arriving and departing time. He already made plans with details of our trip and he told us what we will expect to happen by days and times. He has a price list ready and his price point is fair and good. No games or hustling. Comparing to other companies and to the service that he provides, his price point is the best. He provided us with a very safe, clean and comfortable vehicle to be with us during the trip from the moment they picked us up from the train station to dropping us off back to train station. The drivers Mr. Ramy and Mr. Abd El Noor were very friendly and safer during driveing around. They made sure every time after we visited any place to provide us with cold water or juices with a great smile. Many thanks to Mr. Ayman Zarif our tour guide. He is very friendly, professional and knowledgeable about every place we visited in Aswan and Luxor. He speaks English perfectly well and his information is priceless. He explained to us everything about each place we visited and gave us a free time to explore the place. The team went above and beyond what we want since the moment we left Cairo to Aswan and after we left Luxor back to Cairo. They kept in touch with us all the time until we arrived safe. They added places to visit to our trip without any extra charges. They had a backup plan for any situation. Don’t forget to book with them Air Balloon trip in Luxor. The best experience ever. Ask them for restaurants recommendations. Many thanks from me, Margaret, Jane and Bradford for this amazing trip and experience.

Balloon Ride Cancelled - Never Showed Up Had a 4am pick up for this hot air balloon ride. No one showed up. Found out it was cancelled when I called to ask when they were coming and was told they couldn't find the balloon pilot. The positive was that they refunded our $ immediately. Also offered the balloon ride for the following morning but, unfortunately, we were unable to attend.

Never Showed Up - Had a 4am pick up for this hot air balloon ride. Never showed up. Never called to advise that they cancelled because they couldn't find the balloon pilot. (Really?) Was told they cancelled when I called to find out when they were coming. The positive was that they refunded our $ immediately.
