Great experience, great temple guide and great hot air balloon pilot. Downfall was the VERY early pickup (4:30AM) and having to wait around at the take-off point until around 6:30AM. The pickup felt unorganised and the driver was a hour late picking us up.. Why so early just to wait for so long? (Bring bug spray or cover up for the wait because there were many mosquitoes as the sun rose) Overall, I’d still recommend doing it - it’s a hot air balloon ride in Luxor and Karnak Temple was certainly my favourite site in Luxor.
