About this tour
Before dawn, dozens of balloons come to life on the West Bank of Luxor. As you rise, the first light spreads over sugar-cane fields, mud-brick villages and the temples of the pharaohs, with the Nile shining in the distance.
We work only with licensed operators with an excellent safety record. The flight lasts about 45 minutes depending on the wind, followed by a gentle landing and your flight certificate.
