    Hot air balloon in Luxor- recommended to anyone ❤️🥰

    This was an extremely well organized hot air balloon experience. We were picked up at our hotel at the correct time and brought to the West Bank in a boat ride across the Nile then into a van. On the boat there was a snack and coffee and tea. The tour was organized safe and efficient. Our tour guide went over the safety instructions before we got into the basket and then the captain of the balloon again. It was clear safety was a top concern. This was an absolutely unforgettable experience. I was nervous but once we got into the air and saw the beautiful scenery of the Nile and Hatshepsut’s Temple all my fears eased away. I would highly recommend this hot air balloon provider. Once in a lifetime dream experience.

    Inexpensive Balloon Ride over Valley of the Kings

    Our family has ridden balloons in several countries, but floating over the Valley of the Kings is awesome, and the price is very reasonable. If you are in Luxor, don't miss this opportunity.

    Touring Egypt was amazing - Doaa made the trip outstanding! :)

    My Husband and I visited Egypt for the first time last year. Based on our experiences and time with Doaa, we definitely want to return! Doaa was with us during our travels and treated us like family. She was so nice and thoughtful. She showed us around Cairo and Abu Simbel , took us in a nice sailboat trip, took us on a hot air balloon ride and showed us SO many things! Her knowledge of the ancient Egyptian language and history of Egypt was very advanced, and when we visited museums she was able to translate for us and help us truly understand hieroglyph stories as well as the history of different pieces. During out trip, we asked Doaa to show us the real Egypt away from all the tourism, and she showed us local Egypt alongside the major attractions! We went around Cairo and ate Kushari (delicious!), walked around different local markets, and even went to a local amusement park! It was SO fun! She made us feel very "at home" and we felt safe throughout the trip. Egypt is a great place, and we look forward to going back and touring around more of Egypt with Doaa in the future! Thank you Doaa fo making our trip an amazing trip of a lifetime. :)

    Hot Air Balloon Luxor Sunrise trip: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.

    How much does Hot Air Balloon Luxor Sunrise trip cost?

    +

    Prices start at $120 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 Luxor Sunrise trip 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 Hot Air Balloon Luxor Sunrise trip worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Luxor Sunrise trip?

    +

    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 Luxor Sunrise trip suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Hot Air Balloon Luxor Sunrise trip?

    +

    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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Hot Air Balloon Luxor Sunrise trip 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 Luxor Sunrise trip?

    +

    Included: Transfer by air conditioned bus; Bottled water; and Pick up Service from your hotel & return. Not included: Any extras not mentioned in the program; and Tipping. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Hot Air Balloon Luxor Sunrise trip include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 20 listed pickup locations in and around Luxor. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Hot Air Balloon Luxor Sunrise trip offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, Japanese, English, Italian, French and Spanish. 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 Luxor Sunrise trip?

    +

    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.

    What happens to Hot Air Balloon Luxor Sunrise trip 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.
