    Incredible experience. Team was seamless despite the number of balloons all going up at the same time. Definitely a must do!

    朝日に浮かび上がるナイル川の景色が素晴らしかったです。乗ったバスケットが王家の谷と反対で、遺跡はあまり見えませんでした。しかし、遺跡以外の景色も十分に素晴らしかったので、大満足です。

    Waking up at 4am is NOT my thing but you gotta do it for that sunrise! The team picked us up right on time from our hotel and honestly, I was half asleep but they handed us tea and I started waking up quick. The balloon ride itself – just wow. Floating over the fields and Nile with the sun creeping up was like something outta a dream. Our pilot (Ibrahim? I think?) joked around a lot, made us feel safe too. Only thing—there were a lot of people, so it felt a bit like a parade at launch. Still, worth every second. My sister is scared of heights and she didn’t freak out, so that’s saying somethin

    Went with my girlfriend and we both LOVED the flight, especially watching the sun rise over Luxor. Pilot was super chill and gave us some facts (can’t remember half of em, was too busy soaking in the view). Bit crowded on the launch field and def had to wait a while for our balloon, but the staff kept us updated. The landing was a little bumpy, but everyone laughed it off. Would do it again, maybe off-season if possible!

    Took my parents (both in their 60s) and they had the time of their life! The team made sure everyone felt safe, and even offered extra blankets since it was chilly before sunrise. The colors in the sky were UNREAL. One tip: bring your own snacks, as breakfast after was a bit basic. 100% recommend for families.
