Itinerary
What you'll do on the day.
Begin your extraordinary morning before sunrise when a representative meets you at your hotel or Nile cruise to escort you to the West Bank of the Nile. Upon arrival, enjoy a warm or soft drink to start your day before boarding a small ferry that takes you to the balloon launch site. As the balloon gently ascends, the first rays of sunlight illuminate the ancient city below, revealing the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, and the lush farmlands lining the riverbanks. From high above, Luxor unfolds like a living tapestry of history and nature. The peaceful flight, lasting around 45 minutes to one hour, offers a rare opportunity to capture stunning photographs and experience the serenity of floating over Egypt’s most iconic landmarks. After landing, you will be comfortably transferred back to your hotel or cruise ship, carrying with you the memory of one of Luxor’s most magical experiences. Meals: None Overnight: Not included
