Never been in a hot air balloon before, so this was suuuch a big deal for me! Went with my boyfriend and honestly, we were both a bit nervous (he’s scared of heights, shhhh don’t tell him I wrote that). Captain Ibrahim was hilarious and kept making jokes, which helped! The sunrise was UNREAL, like, you don’t know how pretty the Nile is ‘til you see it from up there. The takeoff was smooth, didn't even notice we left the ground. Only tiny minus—felt a bit crowded in our basket, think there were 14 of us? But everyone was chill and we all took turns at the best corner for pics. Also: wear a hat, it got bright fast. Would def do again if I could afford it.

Did this with my best friend and it was EPIC. Early morning start but worth waking up for. Staff were super friendly, offered coffee and tea before the flight (nice touch). Once we were up, I felt like I was in a movie. Got loads of photos—my phone is full now. Pilot pointed out Valley of the Kings and other cool stuff. Just a tip: wear sneakers, not sandals, the landing can be a bit rough. Would totally recommend if you’re in Luxor.

Never thought I'd do this but my partner insisted. NO REGRETS. Floating above Luxor at sunrise is just, wow. I’m not a morning person so the 4am wake up was rough, but coffee helped. Our pilot, Mohamed, had the steadiest hands ever. Only downside, wish they’d given more info about what we were seeing (bring your own guidebook maybe). But the views make up for everything.

Booked for my mum’s bday. Pickup was on time, and staff smiled a lot. The pilot explained EVERYTHING, even how the fire thing works (it’s LOUD!). The views over the temples were breathtaking. We got up early so it was chilly at first—bring a sweater. Landed safe but a bit bumpy, made us laugh. Would give 5 stars if we had more time floating, felt short. Still, worth it!

I went solo and felt totally safe. The staff explained all the safety stuff and checked if we were okay with heights. The sunrise over the green fields and the river—GORGEOUS. I did feel a little squished in the basket (there were 12 of us), but everyone was friendly. Would have loved more info about what we were flying over, but still, a magical morning.
