Overview

From Luxor, a shared hot-air-balloon flight rises at dawn for aerial views of the Nile, Valley of the Kings, and Hatshepsut Temple. The itinerary passes by the Colossi of Memnon and Luxor Temple, while the balloon climbs to about 1,500 feet and stays airborne for roughly an hour. Hotel or Nile cruise pickup and drop-off simplify the early start. Licensed pilots lead the flight with English commentary and a flight certificate provided as a memento. The shared group can include up to 20 travelers.
