Amin needs to be your guide!
Our time with Amin was phenomenal. He was very knowledgeable about all the sights we visited, he easily answered our questions and made the entire 2 day trip extremely satisfying. He chose the order of the locations we visited based on when we’d have the best time and they weren’t at their peak visitors, so we could enjoy and truly intake the details. Seeing the Luxor Temple at night and the hot air balloon ride the next morning were the highlights of the trip for me! My family and I are already planning to go back to Egypt and we will definitely make sure Amin is our guide again. The experience was 10/10 and I can only say good things!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your family had such a memorable experience exploring Luxor with Amin. He truly is one of our best, and it’s great to know his knowledge, flexibility, and care made your trip special. Seeing Luxor Temple illuminated at night and flying over the West Bank at sunrise are unforgettable moments indeed! We look forward to welcoming you back to Egypt soon for another incredible adventure — and we’ll be sure to have Amin ready to guide you again! Warm regards,

Luxor Magic:a 2 itinerary on steroids!
After a 23 hour journey we arrived at our accommodation in Luxor. A quick refreshment and a shower we were ready to meet our guide Dr Amin Haggag. We went for a sunset Felluca (sailboat) and ride along the Nile and it was breathtaking!The next morning he arranged for us a hot air balloon - it was a magical experience every person should have! We met him for an authentic Egyptian breakfast before we tackled the Hatshepsut-, Luxor- and Karnak Temples, The Valley of the Kings, Colossi Memnon and a visit to an Alabaster Factory. We had a wonderful time with Dr. Amin and he is a great tour guide-our program ran smooth! Thank you for making our Luxor stay unforgettable!
Response from the operator: Dear much valued Guest, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay in Luxor and had such memorable experiences—from the magical hot air balloon ride to the serene Felucca sail at sunset. We’re especially pleased that Dr. Amin made your visit so special and ensured everything went smoothly. Your kind words mean a lot to our team, and we’ll be sure to share them with him. We truly appreciate you choosing us for your Egypt adventure and hope to welcome you back again for more unforgettable experiences! Warm regards,

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2 Days Luxor Tour from Cairo with hot air balloon by flight: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does 2 Days Luxor Tour from Cairo with hot air balloon by flight cost?
+
Prices start at $99 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 Days Luxor Tour from Cairo with hot air balloon by flight take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cairo is not rushed.
Is 2 Days Luxor Tour from Cairo with hot air balloon by flight worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days Luxor Tour from Cairo with hot air balloon by flight?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 Days Luxor Tour from Cairo with hot air balloon by flight suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 Days Luxor Tour from Cairo with hot air balloon by flight?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cairo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cairo and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Days Luxor Tour from Cairo with hot air balloon by flight start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cairo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cairo?
+
On Outty we rank every Cairo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-in-One Giza Tour, inside Pyramid, sphinx, Camel ride & lunch, VIP Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx Tour –Inside the Pyramids&More, Best of Cairo Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Museum Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cairo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cairo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
