    Amazing balloon ride

    Communication: Lucas was there to assist for any kind of issues. He is very communicative in Whatsapp (+20 127 103 9332) . Helped me for any issues. Tour summary: I got picked up by 04:10 AM. The driver was on time. Got to the location by 05:00 AM. Sunrise was at 05:25. The first balloon ride started at 05:15 . I was on the second shift which started at 05:30. It was a 30mins ride. After the ride I got dropped of by my hotel. The view was amazing. I really appreciated the way Lucas handled it from beginning to end. He always made sure if I was satisfied with the service. Many thanks to Lucas again 😊

    It was very beautiful.

    I made the reservation the evening before, and they contacted me by email and phone around 7pm to let me know the pick-up time the next day. The view was amazing and I enjoyed it very much. It's cold in the morning, so you'll need to dress warmly. The staff were very kind.

    Such a great experience with great company!

    Ask for Lucus! After being scammed with other companies and canceled on me the night before I found lucus number online called him at 9pm asking if they have a space for next day and he was very responsive and straightforward he gave me a better price than other company and kept on texting to make sure that everything went perfect. He even showed up to the hotel with a key chain and a bracelet for each on of the group trying to make it up when I told him what has happened to me with other companies. I highly recommend using him!! I can say that this was the only tour I have enjoyed so much without bargaining or back and forth in Egypt. Call him if you need anything in luxor. +20 127 103 9332 🤵‍♂️ Thanks lucus I really appreciate it👍👌

    Best trip in Luxor

    We were happy and enjoyed the trip. Full of emotions. Best service ever. Our flight was just after the excursion. But we were in airport in time as organisators promised. Strongly recommend!

    Sunrise Hot air balloon Ride in Luxor: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Sunrise Hot air balloon Ride in Luxor cost?

    +

    Prices start at $75 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 Ride in Luxor take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Ride in Luxor worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 8 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 Ride in 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 Ride in Luxor suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Sunrise Hot air balloon Ride in Luxor?

    +

    Around 3 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sunrise Hot air balloon Ride in 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 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 Sunrise Hot air balloon Ride in Luxor?

    +

    Included: Pickup and drop-off from your hotel or cruise ship; 45-minute flight over Luxor City; Flight certificate; Tea & Coffee; and Insurance. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Sunrise Hot air balloon Ride in Luxor include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 60 listed pickup locations in and around Luxor. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Sunrise Hot air balloon Ride in Luxor offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
