    The sunrise hot air...

    The sunrise hot air balloon ride was great. I had booked a private tour for the day, but did not realize this portion is shared. Beautiful experience and well piloted by Dr. Mo. Being able to see the Temple of Karnak is King Tut's tomb/Valley of the Kings is not to be missed. There is not a lot of shade and it's very hot, but worth it. Seeing the sites in person made seeing the artifacts and what was pulled from the sites at the New Egyptian Museum truly amazing. Besides, Luxor runs at a much different pace than the chaos of Cairo.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the sunrise hot air balloon experience and your full-day tour in Luxor. The breathtaking views over the Nile, the Valley of the Kings, and the ancient temples truly make for an unforgettable experience. It was our pleasure to have you on board, and Dr. Mo will be especially pleased to know that his piloting helped make your flight both enjoyable and memorable. Thank you for choosing us, and we’re glad that Luxor’s unique atmosphere and incredible history left such a positive impression. We hope to welcome you back to Egypt for another adventure in the future! Warm regards, Adventure Balloon Team

    Everything Luxor In One Day

    I will share information with you that I not already listed under the tour information. - Expect a FULL day. We were picked up at 4AM and dropped off at 6PM. - The hot air balloon ride is highly dependent on near perfect conditions. Be mentally prepared if it doesn't work out. - A photo and video service during the balloon will be offered for an additional 25€ (the quality of pictures taken were great) - After the hot air balloon ride, we're surprised to continue with a private tour (with the famous Dr. Mo) - At the valley of the kings, although the ticket allows 3 tombs we only had time to see 2. - For Dr. Mo to tell us the story of King Tut, it was an additional $30USD/person. I didn't feel it was worth it. You can read the information off the informational board. - The place you will be brought for lunch is a tourist trap, about $20USD per person. - The tour brought us to hands on experiences- Alabaster Store, Perfume, and Papyrus. It was very cool, but every place we went I felt obligated to buy something, hopefully you can have better will power than me! Don't be afraid to negotiate!!! It was be better to split all the things we saw between 2-3 days. But if you only have one day like us, this is a great tour!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and honest review! 🌟 We truly appreciate your feedback and are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience in Luxor, especially the hot air balloon ride and your tour with Dr. Mo. We also appreciate your notes regarding timing, optional extras, shopping stops, and lunch pricing. Feedback like yours helps future travelers know exactly what to expect and helps us continue improving the overall experience. Luxor is full of history and activities, so we completely understand your recommendation about splitting the experience across multiple days for a more relaxed pace. Still, we’re delighted that the tour helped you make the most of your one day in Luxor. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back to Egypt for another unforgettable experience! 🇪🇬✨

    Believe the negative reviews

    Dr hassan and driver Ahmad were friendly and knowledgeable. My review is for the tour company. I booked my tour for the 5:30 AM tour and it was supposed to be the hot air balloon and east and west banks. The night prior I got a WhatsApp message saying I got upgraded to the 4:30 AM tour and I needed to pay $20. I just said I will meet you in the lobby tomorrow morning After they showed up at 4:30 AM, they took me to the hot air balloon place and over there they demanded I pay them $20 to which I said no I’m not giving you anything because I already booked and everything was supposed to be through the website. They said it’s only customary and $20 not a lot. I said if it’s not a lot then you shouldn’t be asking for it. And I didn’t get an upgrade because technically I had to wake up an hour sooner so that was an inconvenience to me. I got on the hot air balloon in a bad mood then after that, they brought me back to my hotel in Luxor around 7 AM. They told me my driver would be here at nine. The driver and the tour guy did not show up until 10 AM. It’s not his fault, but the tour company is very scam scandalous and sleazy. I would not book with them. Very poor communications. I didn’t know if he was going to show up or not.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We always take guest comments seriously, however we would like to clarify a few important points for transparency. The night before the tour, you were offered an optional upgrade to the 4:30 AM balloon flight with an additional cost of $20, and you agreed to join the earlier flight. When you later declined to pay the upgrade difference, our team still allowed you to take the upgraded flight without any additional charge as a gesture of goodwill. After the balloon ride, you were informed that the meeting time for the continuation of the East and West Bank tour would be 10:00 AM, and our team arrived at the scheduled time. We are pleased to see that you mentioned in your review that Dr. Hassan and driver Ahmad were friendly and knowledgeable, and that the trip itself started well. As confirmed, you received the complete tour exactly as booked. Our company is committed to providing professional and transparent service to all guests, and we are proud of the experience delivered by our team.

    One Package Sunrise Hot Air Balloon & Luxor Full-Day Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does One Package Sunrise Hot Air Balloon & Luxor Full-Day Tour 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 One Package Sunrise Hot Air Balloon & 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 Sunrise Hot Air Balloon & Luxor Full-Day Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 619 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 Sunrise Hot Air Balloon & 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 Sunrise Hot Air Balloon & 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 Sunrise Hot Air Balloon & Luxor Full-Day Tour?

    +

    Around 217 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 Sunrise Hot Air Balloon & 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.

    What is included in One Package Sunrise Hot Air Balloon & Luxor Full-Day Tour?

    +

    Included: Luxor Full Day tour East bank & west bank; Flight certificate; Bottled water during your trip Motorboat to transfer to the West Bank; Hotel Pick up and drop off - First Class Air Conditioner Luxury Car; and Morning Hot Air Balloon Ride for 35 ~ 60 minutes in the sky of Luxor.
