What's special about hot air balloon ride in Luxor?

What makes hot air balloon ride in Luxor tour a special one is its unparalleled views of the West Bank at sunrise in an aerial event. Thus, as most visitors get to only see the West Bank temples from the ground, you will be able to float above em all, and watch the morning sun as it lights up gradually the temples, the Nile River, the green agricultural fields, and the Desert lands that cover most of the West Bank.

What are the key highlights of this tour?

As your flight path is conducted by the balloon captain, your tour highlights cover the most iconic temples and sites of the West Bank. From above, you will see the Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut and its surrounding limestone cliffs, the hidden valleys at the Valley of the Kings, and the massive Colossi of Memnon. Upon landing, you will be transferred either to the hotel or to continue exploring these exact royal sites.

Who is the ideal traveler for the hot air balloon ride in Luxor?

This sunrise adventure is mostly suited for:

• Photography Lovers: Sunrise is a golden hour for photographers as the sun lights up the whole surrounding desert, temples, with other balloons ascending and descending. 
• Couples and Families: The serene and peaceful surrounding landscape offers romantic and warm vibes, adding an unforgettable experience.
• Time-Conscious Explorers: As the hot air balloon ride happens at dawn, you extend your itinerary schedule and use the advantage of the sunrise weather to complete your West Bank tour instead of the noon or afternoon heat.

As the hot air balloon ride reaches significant altitudes over the West Bank, we strongly advise against this specific tour if you suffer from a fear of heights (acrophobia).
