Espectacular
The trip was incredible, the cruise ship was very comfortable, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Mona was our host and was always on top of things to make sure everything went smoothly and on time—highly recommended! Our best guide was Nasser in Luxor; he taught us so much and is a very kind and special person.

Wonderful and exciting experience
Great experience, skilled team. We got lucky with weather, but prepare for uncertainty is involved... (e.g. we had no beuatiful sunrise due to some thin fog and clouds, but at least our flight was not canceled - might happen if there is a strong wind). Our captain was very skilled and funny - he had full control over the flight so we felt safe.

Uplifting experience!
We seemed to be a bit behind on the launch, but it was good to know they were waiting for confirmation on our safety. We ended up floating longer than expected, which was really nice. The flight was amazing! It was calm and peaceful and incredibly beautiful. The staff worked hard to stabilize the landing and helped (even lifted!) people out of the basket if needed.

Great tour to see the first pyramids
Really enjoyed the tour to see the first pyramids ever built. The sites are less busy and touristy compared to Giza. Hazem was a great guide and shared lot of interesting information. Recommend the tour for anyone interested to learn more about the pyramids.

So many temples!
The whole trip was well organised and the guide was very knowledgable and helpful. Everything went smoothly and we learned a lot in a very short time. There was so much to see that we should really have opted for a 2 day tour so we could take it all in.

A MUST (for the travel girlies)
This was the coolest thing we did. I was worried that there wouldn’t be any other balloons for sick pictures like the ones you see on Pinterest but there were plenty. The operators were kind and professional. They picked us up from our hotel and communicated with us via WhatsApp. We showed up in the dark and were in the air for sunrise as well as some time after. Gorgeous views of the temples, the Nile, and lots of Luxor farmland. Everything was very safe. Definitely recommend.

We had a great time....
We had a great time. Special thanks also to our tour guide Talaat. He did all his best to make this trip a great success. Relaxed and humorous guy.
The cruise 4 days/ 3 nights has quite a tight schedule but we saw kind of all highlights in this short time. Can really recommend it.

Absolutely amazing
It was absolutely fantastic. The transfer showed up on time, then we got into a boat where they offered coffee or tea and a little cake while we crossed the Nile river. After that we got into another van and went to the takeoff site. It's absolutely amazing seeing the whole process of filling up all the balloons. The flight was absolutely amazing and really smooth, both on takeoff and the landing. The capitan Mo was amazing, and give us insights about what we were seeing, and was always rotating the balloon to ensure that everyone was able to see and take photos properly.
I can't recommend enough this experience!

Once in a lifetime trip.
We took a Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor and the ship was outstanding!! We sailed on the Amwaj, 4 days 3 nights, it was clean and very comfortable. They had Great food, staff was friendly and attentive. They even surprised us at dinner with a birthday cake on my husband’s birthday.
Our private guide thru the 4 days was Ahmed. He was an excellent guide, friendly, and very well versed in Egyptian culture. Ahmed looked after us and made sure we were comfortable and safe. He stayed on schedule and even offered us Egyptian coffee, which was outstanding.
Also included with our booking was a balloon ride over Luxor at sunrise. It was absolutely beautiful and so worth it.
This was a once in a lifetime trip, and we would definitely recommend this cruise. Make sure to ask for the best guide they have; Ahmed 😊

What an incredible expeience
A well organised and incredible experience!
All of our drivers and guides were professional, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We were kept well informed of flights, pick up times and itinerary for the day ahead.
Be prepared for long days, with early morning (4-5AM start) and late evenings (10-11PM), but well worth it to beat the heat and tourists! We were well fed and hydrated throughout the day, with breakfast, snacks and water. The included lunches provided a great variety of food which tasted absolutely divine.

A quality trust-worthy must in Luxor
Such an amazing experience from beginning to end: great communication, on-time pick up, upgrade to sunrise trip (booked 2nd trip at half price), long time in the air as the sun rises, drop off including a felucca ride.
Do not doubt it and grab a deal, you won’t regret it!! 🙌🏼

Great price to see everything that you need to see in Egypt With expert guides
Great 8 day tour starting in Cairo with airport pickup… all messages down via WhatsApp from our organiser Bassant who was very contactable all the time and arranged all our drivers
Picked up on time everywhere we went
Day 1..3 star hotel in Giza ( not very good… staff there not friendly and I think you could find better options as it’s too far from the downtown eating out area and food at hotel was terrible)BUT it has rooftop with perfect views of pyramids
We opted to stay 4 star in Cairo on return which was great
Overnight sleeper was comfortable but very poor quality trains… food was great and even though it took 13 hrs to Aswan it was an experience
Next to the 4 night river cruise from Aswan… dated boat but comfortable…. Food very average and no Arabic food!!
You actually only cruise for 1 night as 1 night docked in Aswan.. 1 night cruise then 2 in Luxor
The hit air balloon company was awesome and did a wonderful job
Our guide was Ahmed and he was great
One suggestion I would like is that we get a detailed itinerary of what we are doing each day as sometimes we were not sure until the last minute… Bassant the tour organiser contacted me every day to make sure everything was running smoothly…Ahmed our cruise guide was awesome
The drivers that picked us up and always on time
Just remember you have to tip cash for everything and everybody and it does get tiresome but you get used to it
Keep taking money out and break up into small amounts. I had a small bag with 3 pockets to separate the bills for easy tipping
Great holiday… we didn’t get sick
Drank bottled water and ate carefully

Not seeing something you are looking for?
From the roar of the burner as the balloon inflates to the tranquil glide over tombs and temples, Egypt hot-air balloon rides offer a new perspective on an ancient country. The former capital of Luxor is the signature spot for aerial magic. You’ll set off before dawn to capture the early morning light and, as you drift over the West Bank monuments, your pilot explains exactly what you’re seeing. Many Egypt balloon ride packages include hotel transfers, coffee, tea, and cake on landing, plus a flight certificate—it’s the perfect way to make lifetime memories.
