This was the coolest thing we did. I was worried that there wouldn’t be any other balloons for sick pictures like the ones you see on Pinterest but there were plenty. The operators were kind and professional. They picked us up from our hotel and communicated with us via WhatsApp. We showed up in the dark and were in the air for sunrise as well as some time after. Gorgeous views of the temples, the Nile, and lots of Luxor farmland. Everything was very safe. Definitely recommend.

Beautifully organized trip from on time pick up to perfect sunrise view in the air. This tour is exactly as advertised. The pilot was very experienced and absolutely amazing - ensuring we lifted off, floated, and landed in the best locations, with everyone getting a chance to see and take great instagrammable pictures over the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut, the exact time of the sunrise peeking over the mountains & Nile River. Sindbad team was responsive over WhatsApp, answering all of my questions in advance day & night. Thank you Lily! Highly recommend.

The whole hot air balloon ride experience was exceptional and we would recommend it to anyone and specifically Viator. All the arrangements from pickup, transport, the flight and the return to the hotel was flawless.

We were picked up sharp at 4:50AM from our hotel. After a rendezvous with the Sindbad crew in the banks of Nile, we were dropped at the launch site in time for the spectacular site of balloons getting inflated in dawn. We were promptly air lifted and witnessed the sunrise mid air. The views were breathtaking with 25-30 balloons surrounding us. Captain Khaled showed us all the important landmarks and the landing was smooth as butter. Thanks Sindbad team. We paid 90$ PP for this experience via Viator.
