our experience was amazing. the hot air balloon got cancelled but they rescheduled the flight for the morning after, so we got to have more time to do the Valley of the Kings. Dr Mo was amazing for explaning everything and bring some value to the tour. Thanks again!

Epic sunrise over the Valley! The balloon ride was honestly MAGICAL, like seeing a painting come alive. I was nervous before but the crew was chill and made us laugh. If you’re scared of heights, you’ll still be fine – it’s super smooth. Our guide Ahmed kept telling stories about the pharaohs, which got a bit long near the end but still cool. Bring a hat, it got HOT by 10am. Would do it again for sure.

I came solo, was nervous about joining a group but everyone was suuuper welcoming. The sunrise balloon ride was peaceful and the colors were insane. Even the landing was smooth (some ppl clapped). Afterward, we hit Karnak and Hatshepsut Temples. Guide answered every random question I had, even about old Egyptian snacks. Hot tip: bring cash, some places don’t take card.

Woke up at 4:15am for this, so yeah, was tired but worth it. The balloon launch was delayed 15 mins (not a big deal, just more time to take pics of the balloons filling up). Seeing the temples from above = wow. Only downside, the van ride after was a bit cramped for tall folks. Our guide Hossam was super friendly and did his best with our mixed German-English group.

Balloon ride was cancelled last min due to wind… gutted. They did offer to reschedule but we had to pay a bit extra and that felt off. Ended up doing the temples tour instead, which was still solid. Our guide Mahmoud was knowledgeable but seemed rushed. Lunch was meh, like cafeteria food. Would be 5 stars if the balloon had worked out.

Soar over Luxor at sunrise and see the West Bank’s iconic temples and monuments from both the sky and the ground.
