    A fun morning once we were on the balloon.

    We were a family of nine. The ride across the water was a nice surprise with coffee and snack cakes. The balloon pilot was excellent. It was a beautiful morning and it was great to see all the other balloons. We saw a lot of things from the air that we had seen on ground tours so it was a nice way to end our trip to Luxor. The only problem was that the tour was advertised as starting with a 6:30 pickup. I received a notice on what's app that we would be picked up at 5:45 a.m. Okay- 9 people made that adjustment. We were in the lobby of our hotel right on time and, surprisingly, were somewhat reprimanded by the person picking us up because he had been waiting since 5:15. Then we drove to two other hotels, presumably to pick up other guests. I think one group did not show up. The wait at both hotels was quite long. I understand that mapping out an efficient route to get all customers is a challenge but keeping 9 people (including four kids) in a van for nearly an hour is not a good idea. The balloon ride was a 5 star experience but dealing with tour operator was a disappointing challenge.

    What a beautiful Tour.!!

    The company we booked with didn't consider that we were going to board the balloon in Luxor, which made us very upset, but we did search the global site tripadvisor,We found the company in the proposals and looked at the flights and found the balloon experience at an excellent price and immediately we booked my husband and I..It was one of the best experiences in Luxor..Keep going, you're the best. I recommend you try it

    Thank you for this excellent nomination.

    Actually, I didn't know the booking system was online now..My friends and I were in Luxor, and we saw a Program TripAdvisor and we looked for a balloon ride, and this program was proposed to us by this company..Thanks for the progress you are now and the balloon experience with Hazem is more than wonderful

    Hot Air Balloon Ride Over Luxor: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Hot Air Balloon Ride Over Luxor cost?

    +

    Prices start at $80 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 Ride Over Luxor 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 Ride Over Luxor worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 6 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 Ride Over Luxor?

    +

    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 Ride Over Luxor 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 Ride Over Luxor?

    +

    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 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 Ride Over Luxor 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 Tour to West bank, Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, 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 Ride Over Luxor?

    +

    Included: In-vehicle air conditioning; Flight certificate; All Fees and Taxes; Pick up and Drop off; and 30 to 45 minutes balloon ride. Not included: Tipping ( Optional ). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Hot Air Balloon Ride Over Luxor include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 176 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 Ride Over Luxor offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, 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 Ride Over Luxor?

    +

If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
