Samar made it lifetime experience for us!
A Hot Air balloon ride is no more our dream! Great thanks to **Samar Mohamed** who made it possible for us at Luxor at a surprisingly reasonable price. Before having this booked, we checked with multiple tour operators and the price we heard from all of them were much far from what we finally paid with this tour. Samar was available to us literally at any point in time when we were in need. Noteworthy, it a pleasure to hear her speak excellent English which makes it much easier for us. She ensured to make it seamless and hassle free for us. Astonished by the quality delivered for such a reasonable price, we also went ahead booking a few other tours with Samar.

Exciting and inspiring ride.
We had access to Luxor's hot air balloon ride as part of the package hired. The tour was very well organized, with impeccable logistics and service; the experience was terrific.

Why this scores 51
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hot Air Balloon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Hot Air Balloon 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 Hot Air Balloon take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Hot Air Balloon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Hot Air Balloon?
+
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 Hot Air Balloon suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hot Air Balloon?
+
Around 1 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hot Air Balloon 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 Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor (Private), Full Day Tour of Luxor private. 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.
What is included in Hot Air Balloon?
+
Included: Fees of the whole trip from hotel and back to hotel ; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Breakfast; and Tips Not included . Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Hot Air Balloon include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 19 listed pickup locations in and around Luxor. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Hot Air Balloon offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Hot Air Balloon?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Hot Air Balloon wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; Not recommended for pregnant travelers; Infant seats unavailable; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Hot Air Balloon if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
