The trip we did not get to Experience!
Terrible because we were not picked up so did not get to go on this experience! We waited in our hotel reception, the pick up point from 3am to 4.30am and no one came to collect us! The stated time for pick up was 3.30am but we did not receive confirmation! I tried to contact the tour operator and left an email the previous day. The phone no. given for customer questions was not an Egyptian one. I had given our hotel phone no. for our contact if not being informed by email which I could be reached!

Cheapo air is a scam
Worst company ever. They scammed my money. An keep lying about refund. I’ve reached out many times a they keep making exscuses. Then finally for my 320 dollar ticket they refunded me 1.20$ just to add salt to the wound.

Great and unforgettable experience, a must
The balloon flight was amazing! The views were incredible and all the staff was so kind with me and my 8 friends. They picked up us at the boat in the morning and offered us a little breakfast, then we take a faluca and arrived to the balloon station. The day was incredible and we enjoyed every minute 🥰. We recommend absolutely this experience, a must if you are in Luxor… the ancient temple views are unforgettable. Thank you to all the staff and team!!

Great price and worth for it
WORTH THE PRICE! The pickup was smooth. I think we were the first one who got collected as a group and waited in a que for others. At the beginning we taught that we will miss the sunrise, but we got in time to the balloon. We got in time up in the air and the view from up was really stunning. Thank you!!

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cheap trip -Luxor: Hot Air Balloon Ride: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Cheap trip -Luxor: Hot Air Balloon Ride cost?
+
Prices start at $75 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cheap trip -Luxor: Hot Air Balloon Ride take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Luxor is not rushed.
Is Cheap trip -Luxor: Hot Air Balloon Ride worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 34 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cheap trip -Luxor: Hot Air Balloon Ride?
+
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 Cheap trip -Luxor: Hot Air Balloon Ride suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Cheap trip -Luxor: Hot Air Balloon Ride?
+
Around 12 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 Luxor 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 Luxor and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cheap trip -Luxor: Hot Air Balloon Ride 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 Luxor 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 Luxor?
+
On Outty we rank every Luxor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full Day Tour of Luxor West Bank Temples and Tombs (Private), Luxury Sunrise Balloon Ride in Luxor with Hotel Pickup, Luxor Day Tour: Valley of Kings & Queens & Hatchepsut Temples. 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 Luxor?
+
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 Luxor?
+
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.
