Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Flight Over Luxor

Our representative will pick you up at 5:00 AM by car and take you to the Nile. From there, you will cross the Nile by boat while enjoying the sunrise.

After a safety briefing and an introduction to your ground crew and pilot, you will climb into the balloon basket and prepare for lift-off. You will then rise gently into the dawn sky, reaching heights of 500 to 1500 feet for an air trip over Luxor lasting about 30 minutes. Enjoy views of the monuments and beautiful nature from above as you drift peacefully away from the daytime crowds over the West Bank of Luxor and sights such as the monuments of Thebes. The early morning sun rising over the East Bank will illuminate the city and the surrounding mountains.

At the end of the tour, our team will take you back to your hotel.
