Take in Egypt from the sky with a Luxor hot air balloon ride at sunrise. As the sun comes up, you will look down on Luxor’s West Bank, the Nile River, the Valley of the Kings, and the Hatshepsut Temple. The morning light brings the old sites into view in a way you will not forget.
This Luxor sunrise hot air balloon tour is a calm way to see the area from above. It also works well as a special Luxor day tour if you want something different than the usual routes. You will get hotel or Nile cruise pickup, then a short motorboat ride across the Nile. Before you lift off, you will have some refreshments. The flight lasts about 45 minutes. If you are planning an Egypt day tour, you can add this balloon ride to make the day feel new. Get ready for Luxor from another angle.
Experience a Luxor Hot Air Balloon Ride at Sunrise over Luxor at sunrise, around 45 minutes in the air, starting with hotel or Nile cruise pickup and a short motorboat crossing to the West Bank launch site. Your basket carries only your group; the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Hatshepsut pass beneath you, along with the Nile, farmland, and desert on either side.
Your driver collects you before dawn and takes you to the river. On the other bank, your balloon and pilot are already set up. Before takeoff, there's tea or a soft drink while the crew finishes final checks; then the balloon lifts, and Luxor spreads out below the cliffs of the West Bank, the temple rooflines catching the first light, and the desert going gold at the edges. The flight is timed so the sun comes up while you're still airborne.
After landing, your pilot handles the balloon, and your driver takes you back to your hotel or cruise ship most mornings, before the rest of Luxor is even at breakfast.
