    Wonderful day

    It was a very pleasant trip and we enjoyed the journey since we moved from Hurghada to Luxor. The hospitality by the tour leader of the company, Ayman, was great and he was very kind with us. We watched the preparation process for the start of the hot air balloon. It was an exciting and enjoyable trip that took about 35 minutes in mid-air. We saw Hatchbussut Temple which is one of the most popular tourist attractions on the west bank continent. Then we continued our visits to the West bank Continent and then had our lunch after that we visit the East bank Continent where we visited Karnak Temple. Our guide named Christine was excellent at explaining things; she had rich historical information and strong language. The organization of the trip was really good. I would recommend my friends and colleagues to do this tour together with Ebbs Sun Rise Tours.

    FANTASTIC

    Absolutely amazing trip with Ayman and Christine. I cannot fault them at all from the pick up to the hospitality. It was perfect. They explained everything so clearly and took amazing videos and pictures of me and my partner. We had some great conversations and they answered literally every single question we had. The hot air balloon was amazing, the tour guides were so interesting and historic. I would recommend that everyone should come here and book with these guys. Will definitely be coming here again

    It was an amazing...

    It was an amazing experience! I spent one night in Luxor, which included guided tours of both the West and East Banks. Unfortunately, my hot air balloon ride was cancelled due to the weather, so if you’re staying longer in Luxor, you may have the opportunity to reschedule. My tour guide, Christen, was fantastic—she made sure I felt safe throughout the tours, explained the history of each site in detail, and took me to shops selling authentic items such as alabaster, perfumes, and papyrus. My tour leader, Ayman, was equally wonderful. He ensured everything was well organised and even surprised me with a cake and a gift when they found out it was my birthday week. It was truly a pleasure meeting you all, and I hope to return soon for the Aswan tour ☺️

    A great trip

    It was a great day and we did not expect that it would be beautiful in this way since we moved from the city of Hurghada to the city of Luxor, then the balloon trip began and it was fantastic and very exciting. After that, we completed the tourist program by visiting the West Land and then the Eastland, and we enjoyed a lot of visiting the Valley of the Kings and the temples of Karnak, where the organization of the trip was excellent, and the guide was talking fluently, the car was comfortable, the driver was excellent, and finally everything was wonderful, and I recommend the egypt sunrise tours company

    +

    It is a premium pick. It starts at $175, above the $12 typical for similar experiences in Hurghada.

    How much does Private Full day tour to Luxor From Hurghada with hot air balloon cost?

    +

    Prices start at $175 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hurghada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Full day tour to Luxor From Hurghada with hot air balloon take?

    +

    Plan for about 14 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 Hurghada is not rushed.

    Is Private Full day tour to Luxor From Hurghada with hot air balloon worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 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 Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Full day tour to Luxor From Hurghada with hot air balloon?

    +

    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 Private Full day tour to Luxor From Hurghada with hot air balloon suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Full day tour to Luxor From Hurghada with hot air balloon?

    +

    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 Hurghada 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 Hurghada and add a light layer if any part of the 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Full day tour to Luxor From Hurghada with hot air balloon start and how do I get there?

    +

    What are the best things to do in Hurghada?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Hurghada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hurghada Diving Adventure one Day with two Dives Boat Trip, Hurghada to Cairo: Pyramids & Museum for First-Time Visitors, Hurghada Scuba Diving Full Day Boat Trip With Lunch & Transfer. 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 Hurghada?

    +

    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 Hurghada?

    +

    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.
