Ask A Travel ExpertWhat is the hot air balloon ride over Luxor like?
It is a 2-hour private experience built around a sunrise flight. After a short safety briefing at the launch site you lift off, and the balloon flight itself lasts about 45 minutes to 1 hour. You see the Valley of the Kings, Luxor Temple, Karnak Temple and the Nile from the air, guided by a professional pilot.
Where am I picked up for the Luxor balloon ride, and at what time?
The tour starts with an early pick-up from your hotel or from your Nile cruise, and the same ride brings you back afterwards. The exact pick-up time depends on the launch schedule and is not fixed on the page, so it is given in your booking confirmation. Ask on WhatsApp +201206829147 if you need it earlier.
