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.

Amazing Nile Cruise and Balloon tour
It was an amazing trip with my family to celebrate our wedding anniversary. At first, we weren’t completely sure about the 5-star cruise, so there was a bit of confusion.
However, Let’s Discover Egypt Tour and Viator were very helpful in sorting everything out. It turned out to be a wonderful opportunity to meet travelers from different countries and to learn about Egypt’s rich history through its temples and ancient tombs. The balloon tour was definitely a highlight, an unforgettable experience! I highly recommend this trip.

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!! 🙌🏼

Incredible experience!
From top to bottom a 5 star experience. Things started out with great communication by Heba and her staff. Then we met Wafa our guide. From the time we met Wafa we felt welcomed, safe , well informed he treated us like family. The crew on the Cielo from Mr Hemly to the incredible food and service at the restaurant far exceded any expection we had. The food amazing! Our room super clean, cozy and with an increíble view from start to finish. Cannot recommend this experience enough for your first trip to Egypt. And if you book make sure and ask for Wafa🫶🏻

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.
