    It's the worst.

    I made a reservation for the sunrise balloon experience here, and the itinerary was confirmed. I also bought a plane ticket for this day. It's not cheap. However, it was cancelled unilaterally the day before without any consultation. All guests will arrange a trip to coincide with this experience. Since I don't live in Luxor, your unilateral cancellation the day before will be very annoying and confusing. Please give me at least a few days' notice. It's the worst.

    Response from the operator: Sir, on that day, there were no places in the balloon companies on the first flight. There were only places on the second flight. But if we had told you that, you would have said that our company is a materialistic company that takes advantage of the situation to take money. Therefore, we cancelled your flight before the flight time so that you could get back the full amount that you paid.

    Amazing experience with a great price. Fully recommended

    We had an amazing time! The operator arrived on time and all the logistics to get the balloon was impressive. I would recommend booking with them for their great service and price. The views and all the experience was one of a kind. Do tip well the guys working in the balloon, I was not aware how much work is behind this fly. All of them were nice guys with always a great smile. The Captain explained the views all the way and was very experienced. I loved that I got a Fly Certificate at the end, great souvenir! Thanks for the great memory. Also at an extra price, you can get photos and a video of your fly.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your tour. It was our pleasure to host you, and we look forward to welcoming you on another adventure in the future!

    Sunrise hot air balloon flight over luxor: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Sunrise hot air balloon flight over luxor cost?

    +

    Prices start at $60 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 Sunrise hot air balloon flight over luxor take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Sunrise hot air balloon flight over luxor worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 5 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 Sunrise hot air balloon flight over luxor?

    +

    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 Sunrise hot air balloon flight over luxor suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Sunrise hot air balloon flight over luxor?

    +

    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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sunrise hot air balloon flight over luxor 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 Tour to West bank, Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, 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 happens to Sunrise hot air balloon flight over luxor if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Luxor. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Sunrise hot air balloon flight over luxor?

    +

    Across 5 reviews averaging 4.2 out of 5, recurring themes include organization, photo opportunities, value for money. Pickup, timing, and logistics are described as running smoothly.
