Is a Hot Air Balloon Ride in Luxor Worth It?

Is a Hot Air Balloon Ride in Luxor Worth It? Most of the visitors in Luxor ask this question before going ahead with the experience.

Let me say to you that Thebes, which is Luxor, includes around two-thirds of the world’s monuments, so whatever your itinerary and the duration you spend in Luxor, it will not be enough to visit all these majestic pharaonic monuments.

A Hot Air Balloon Ride allows you to view all these attractions in a single scene from a close distance, revealing the magnificence of these monuments situated in the heart of Thebes, the ancient Egyptian world.

Actually, even if we are supposed to visit the whole of Luxor’s attractions, can you imagine seeing them in one scene by a falcon eye, flying over the majesty of ancient Egypt as if you are a bird that bears witness to the majesty of ancient Egypt? it is a sight whose beauty and magic you will never forget throughout your life.

This tour lasts 45 minutes; so, for 45 minutes, the glory and greatness of ancient Egypt will be beneath you while you fly over the giant statues, towering columns, giant temples, Thebes Necropolis, and even more. It is one of the best Luxor day tours.

So, can you imagine now the answer to “Is a Hot Air Balloon Ride in Luxor Worth It?”

Great service. We had a wonderful time. Our guide Abdel Salam was very kind, spoke excellent English and shared his extensive knowledge with us. We had a private AC car. Visited most of the main sites in Cairo over two days. Would highly recommend.

We arranged the tour a few weeks in advance before arriving in Egypt. Akram presented us with a complete private tour program, starting in Hurghada, visiting Cairo, the Black and White deserts, Alexandria and finally returning to Hurghada. Everything run smoothly, from the different drivers, who picked us up and dropped us off, always punctual and safe (especially Hamada, 'Medo'!) to the guides, in particular Reeham in Cairo who was just outstanding and Ahmed in the desert tour who welcomed us in his home together with his family before taking us and preparing our dinner in the desert! The overnight stays were all planned in great detail. It was definitely an incredible experience during these 4 days! A huge thank you to Akram!

Ashraf was our Egyptian professional guide for a Czech small group planned "Sacred journey to the chacra temples of Egypt". As the title already says, not only were we using his incredible life experience of an egyptolog, tourist guide and organiser. We were also using his experience with the places themselves, which of the extra tickets are worth the money to visit the extra places, which of the villages and shops are fair and having good things. And of course all the historical stories linked to the places we visited with open mind to some new more alternative explanations of happenings too. The organisation of our trip from Hurghada, through Asuan, Luxor, Ghiza and back Hurghada is fully his expertise. Minivans, boat, train... He was always with us handling all to our happiness ❤️ Buying extra water, bananas or ordering better for stomach digestion food.

Our experience on the Dahabiya with Golavita was absolutely fantastic. We had a very professional guide, Mohamed Nagdy who spoke excellent Spanish, and we learned about the fascinating history of Ancient Egypt in a relaxed and enjoyable way. The Dahabiya Iris is truly recommended, a perfect combination of comfort and culture.
