Fraud
Fraud on your part. We booked in May after the Egyptian Government had canceled all balloon rides thru August. After you took my money on August 21, in less than an hour we received an email stating that all rides had been canceled thru August. You knew that but yet you took our money. Fraud.

Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Tour from Luxor: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Tour from 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 Tour from 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 Tour from Luxor worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 9 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 Tour from 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 Tour from 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 Tour from 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 Tour from 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 Tour from Luxor?
+
Included: Bottled water during the trip; Motorboat transfer to the West Bank; Round-trip hotel transfers; 45-minute hot-air balloon ride; and Transportation by air-conditioned van. Not included: Any extras not mentioned in the program; and Tips (optional). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Tour from Luxor include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1 listed pickup location in and around Luxor. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Tour from Luxor offered in?
+
It is offered in Arabic, German, Russian, Portuguese, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+
