Hot Air Balloon Experience in Luxor!
Absolutely amazing experience! Watching the sunrise from a hot air balloon over Luxor is something I’ll never forget. The views were breathtaking—floating above the beautiful landscape, with the mountains and historic scenery all around us. The peacefulness up in the air combined with the stunning colors of the sunrise made it truly magical. This is definitely a must-do if you’re visiting Luxor. An unforgettable experience!

Great Tour with Excellent Tour Guide
We had an AMAZING time with Dina on our tour of the East/West Bank. She is incredibly knowledgeable, and a great story teller, which makes your experience so much more immersive. She also suggested a few other locations that made our trip much more rewarding. I can’t recommend her enough.

Hectic Perfect Day
Great day in Luxor . Every thing went smoothly as planned by Remon, our guide. The previous day he came by our hotel to provide details of the tour that would take place the following day. Hot Air Ballon early in the morning was perfect. Visiting the East and West Bank, having lunch at Banana’s island was more than I expected. Also, I really loved visiting the local small businesses and buying from them . In this time of pandemic we must support those businesses that have been struggling for almost two years. Last but not least , Remon , our guide , has a superb knowledge of the whole ancient Egyptian saga and can organize first class activities. It is a must to do tour.

Luxor Hot Air Balloon with East and West Banks Tour with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Luxor Hot Air Balloon with East and West Banks Tour with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $10 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 Hot Air Balloon with East and West Banks Tour with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Hot Air Balloon with East and West Banks Tour with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Luxor Hot Air Balloon with East and West Banks Tour with Lunch?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Luxor Hot Air Balloon with East and West Banks Tour with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Luxor Hot Air Balloon with East and West Banks Tour with Lunch?
+
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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luxor Hot Air Balloon with East and West Banks Tour with Lunch 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), Private Half day Tour to West bank. 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 Luxor Hot Air Balloon with East and West Banks Tour with Lunch?
+
