Overview

A hot air balloon ride over Luxor at sunrise offers a unique way to see Egypt’s largest open-air museum. After pickup and a short transfer to the West Bank of the Nile, you’ll board a shared balloon basket and lift gently into the sky. Door-to-door transportation is included. From above, you’ll see the great temples and tombs spread across the landscape as the sun illuminates the monuments and surrounding mountains. The bird’s-eye views include Karnak Temple, Hatshepsut Temple and the Valley of the Queens, along with the Nile winding below. This area is often described as the biggest open-air museum, and seeing it from the air helps explain why. The flight takes place over the historic sites of Luxor, giving a memorable panorama of ancient Egypt.
