Colossi of Memnon
The Colossi of Memnon are two massive stone statues located in the Theban Necropolis, on the west bank of the Nile in Egypt. They depict the Pharaoh Amenhotep III, who ruled Egypt during the 18th Dynasty (around 1390–1352 BC). The statues are made of quartzite sandstone and are about 18 meters (59 feet) tall. They originally stood at the entrance of Amenhotep's mortuary temple, but today they are the only remains of the temple still standing. The statues are also known for their acoustic properties, as they emit a whistling or humming sound when struck by the sun's rays. This phenomenon, known as the "Vocal Memnon," was thought by the ancient Greeks to be the statue speaking, and it drew many tourists to the site.

Good best all and hot air balloon
Good experience if you have only one day to see everything in Luxor. Started off with a hot air balloon ride. Pick up was slightly delayed but still made it with plenty of time and had a good experience. You can get some professional photos and videos for 15 dollars I would highly recommend doing that. Afterwards your dropped off to your private guide and driver to see all the sights. Guide was very knowledgeable of everything. It doesn’t come with any entry fees so it cost around 100 dollars for 2 people to get inside and see everything with this tour. Overall good day just make sure you are well rested before and drink some caffeine as our tour started at 4am and went into the afternoon. Also was given the opportunity at the end to stop for lunch or shopping but all on your dime!
Response from the operator: Me to thank you for your time and consideration. We are more than proud and happy to hear that you have enjoyed every aspect of your tour and we will continue working hard to maintain the same level of progress. our biggest inspiration is your satisfaction. we are looking forward to welcoming you again in the near future to try more of our tours. Sincerely, Best regards : Etro Tours

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
One Package Hot Air Balloon with Best of Luxor Full Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does One Package Hot Air Balloon with Best of Luxor Full Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $135 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 One Package Hot Air Balloon with Best of Luxor Full Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 One Package Hot Air Balloon with Best of Luxor Full Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 15 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 One Package Hot Air Balloon with Best of Luxor Full Day Tour?
+
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 One Package Hot Air Balloon with Best of Luxor Full Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book One Package Hot Air Balloon with Best of Luxor Full Day Tour?
+
Around 5 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does One Package Hot Air Balloon with Best of Luxor Full Day Tour 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.
