Increíble check in my bucket list
Having to get up at 4 am and traveling by boat and by van half asleep is immediately forgotten after this incredible experience. Can’t miss it!!!! People are very caring, vídeo included. A dozen Fotos with your phone inside the globe. Even the Egyptian and American landing is a laughing adventure. We loved it! Congrats !!!
Response from the operator: Dear Valued Guest , “Thank-you for taking the time to leave a review. You were a champ! It was a pleasure showing you and your family around.” Stay Safe :)

Don't miss this experience in Luxor!
This experience was extraordinary and will stay with me for the rest of my life. To see the West Bank and the river Nile from above was breathtaking, but top it with the sun just rising and you get an incredibly peaceful, one-with-the-world moment in your soul. Unless there is someone very noisy next to you, but that's just tough luck 😉 What I would improve, though, is enforcing the mask wearing during the transportation in a van, because some Russian people and an American lady did not care about it at all.
Response from the operator: Dear Valued Guest , “Thank-you for taking the time to leave a review. We are happy to know that your enjoyed your trip and we totally agree with your about the masks and the balloon company provide it to all guests but as you said some people SIMPLY don't care , You were a champ! It was a pleasure showing you and your family around. ” Stay Safe :) Egypt Best Holidays Team

Unforgettable Sunrise Experience
WOW! Highly Recommend. What an amazing, once in a lifetime opportunity to catch the sunrise over Egypt and the amazing temples of the Valley of the Kings. I had a magnificent morning all thanks to the recommendation from my amazing guide Khaled from Egypt Best Holidays to consider this activity and the super professional staff of Sinebad Hot Air Balloons. It was a well organized, hospitable tour with a boat ride to the West Bank where the balloons are allowed to float. Thanks for a a wonderful and unforgettable experience.
Response from the operator: Dear Valued Guest Thank you for taking the time to review our tours .. We really appreciate every word you have written and we will do our best to make our service meet our guests' desires ,, All the Best ,, Egypt Best Holidays Team

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Luxor : Flying on Hot Air Balloon for Sunrise: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Luxor : Flying on Hot Air Balloon for Sunrise 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 Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Luxor : Flying on Hot Air Balloon for Sunrise take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Luxor : Flying on Hot Air Balloon for Sunrise worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 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 Luxor : Flying on Hot Air Balloon for Sunrise?
+
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 Luxor : Flying on Hot Air Balloon for Sunrise suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Luxor : Flying on Hot Air Balloon for Sunrise?
+
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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luxor : Flying on Hot Air Balloon for Sunrise 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.
