See Luxor from above and explore its most important ancient monuments from the ground on this comprehensive Hot Air Balloon and Luxor Full Day Tour.
Your experience begins before sunrise with a comfortable hotel pickup and a short transfer to the Nile. Cross to Luxor’s West Bank by motorboat before continuing to the hot air balloon launch site. After a safety briefing, rise above the West Bank and enjoy breathtaking sunrise views over the Nile Valley, ancient temples, and surrounding landscapes.
After landing, meet your private Egyptologist guide and begin your full-day sightseeing tour. Explore the famous Valley of the Kings, visit the impressive Temple of Hatshepsut, and stop at the Colossi of Memnon before crossing to the East Bank.
Continue to the magnificent Karnak Temple Complex, one of the largest ancient religious complexes in Egypt, followed by a visit to Luxor Temple.
With private transportation, a qualified Egyptologist guide, motorboat transfers, and a hot air balloon flight included, this tour is an excellent choice for travelers who want to experience the highlights of both sides of Luxor in a single day.
This experience combines two of the best ways to discover Luxor: a sunrise hot air balloon flight and a private guided sightseeing tour.
Instead of spending separate days exploring the East and West Banks, you can visit many of Luxor’s most important landmarks in one carefully organized itinerary. The early balloon flight provides a unique perspective of the ancient landscape, while your Egyptologist guide gives you a deeper understanding of the temples and tombs you visit afterward.
