5/5

Highlights

“Discover the best of Luxor from above in one unforgettable morning—where a magical sunrise flight, breathtaking aerial views of the Valley of the Kings, and a stunning Nile River panorama come together.”

Sunrise balloon flight

Watch the world wake up from a hot air balloon, drifting peacefully as the golden morning sun illuminates the mountains, ancient monuments, and the winding Nile below.

Hatshepsut Temple from above

Admire a breathtaking bird’s-eye view of this unique, three-tiered mortuary temple, carved masterfully right into the sheer limestone cliffs of Deir el-Bahari.

Aerial views of Valley of the Kings

Soar directly over the hidden, rugged valleys where Egypt’s legendary pharaohs were laid to rest, offering a spectacular perspective of the ancient royal necropolis.

Tour Itinerary

Your adventure begins with a prompt, early morning pickup from your accommodation or cruise ship in Luxor via a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle.

Cross the Nile River to the West Bank on a motorboat. Enjoy light refreshments onboard (tea, coffee, and snacks) to wake you up before the flight. If the pickup location is close to the balloon yard you will have a straight ride on your vehicle.

A short vehicle ride brings you to the launch field near the archaeological zones. Watch the ground crew inflate the massive balloons and receive a comprehensive safety briefing from your licensed pilot.

Take off gently into the sky. Drift over the West Bank, taking in the wide visual contrast between the vibrant green Nile valley and the stark desert landscape, passing right near the magnificent Temple of Hatshepsut.
