Après plus d'une heure d'attente debout et très peu d'informations données par l'équipe qui nous a récupérées à l'hôtel, le vol en montgolfière a finalement été annulé en raison de la météo. La visite guidée était correcte. Le guide n'avait légalement pas le droit de nous donner des informations à l'intérieur des tombeaux de la vallée des rois ni du temple d'Hatchepsout, dommage. J'espère obtenir un remboursement partiel.
our experience was amazing. the hot air balloon got cancelled but they rescheduled the flight for the morning after, so we got to have more time to do the Valley of the Kings. Dr Mo was amazing for explaning everything and bring some value to the tour. Thanks again!
Epic sunrise over the Valley! The balloon ride was honestly MAGICAL, like seeing a painting come alive. I was nervous before but the crew was chill and made us laugh. If you’re scared of heights, you’ll still be fine – it’s super smooth. Our guide Ahmed kept telling stories about the pharaohs, which got a bit long near the end but still cool. Bring a hat, it got HOT by 10am. Would do it again for sure.
Woke up at 4:15am for this, so yeah, was tired but worth it. The balloon launch was delayed 15 mins (not a big deal, just more time to take pics of the balloons filling up). Seeing the temples from above = wow. Only downside, the van ride after was a bit cramped for tall folks. Our guide Hossam was super friendly and did his best with our mixed German-English group.
