Best end to our trip in Luxor
We had an incredible time on the quads for the sunset trip in the desert. We both loved every minute. The transport to the desert was seamless between the drivers and a short boat trip. Our guides were fantastic when we got to the quads too. Remember to bring a face scarf and they will properly wrap it for you, you will need it! We were brought out to a location that has many cool fossils and we even saw a turtle fossil from millions of years ago. The views were also phenomenal of the mountains and the sunset. 100% would recommend!

Loved it!
This was amazing! We went August 25th 2026 with all clear skies. They picked us up from our hotel on time, brought us to the field, gave a safety briefing, and then we got to enjoy and beautiful sunrise. Our pilot was skilled and funny and our landing was very controlled, soft, and safe. Would recommend.

Day trip to Luxor
A trip to Egypt wouldn’t be complete without a day trip, at least, to Luxor. The transportation from our hotel to the Cairo airport and back could have been better but it didn’t deter from the trip. Once arriving in Luxor everything was flawless. Remon was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and made sure we had enough free time while also keeping us on schedule. I would recommend this tour.

A fabulous tour, amazing experience and well worth it!
From the moment I was collected from my hotel at the start to being delivered to the next at the end, I was well looked after by my facilitator/guide, Mohamed, from Let’s Discover Egypt Tours.
I was even upgraded after my original cruise boat had a malfunction before departure. The Signature Royal Olivia was a lovely boat, my room was very nice and the service was excellent.
Shout out to Francis, the Maitre’d, who, along with the chefs, catered to my food allergy like a champion. The guides (and drivers) at all of the locations were professional and courteous. After my hot air balloon ride was cancelled, Mohamed came all the way from Aswan to Luxor to guide me through my last day of the tour... now that’s some excellent customer service. I highly recommend this experience with this very professional company.

An Amazing Journey Back in Time on The Great Nile!
This was one amazing experience. The time spent on the water alone was marvelous. Just observing the sailboats navigate the Great Nile with a glass of wine in hand and the sunset in the foreground was incredible. The staff of the Nile did a tremendous job ensuring that I was comfortable and always taken care of. The tours to the various temples were astounding, informative and overall very educational. All the tour guides did an outstanding job explaining the history and providing the enlightenment I left Egypt with. I will certainly return and will be sure to recommend this cruise to all.

Had a Blast!!
It wasn't what we were expecting, but it was still pretty amazing! You're in a large basket with 9 sections. 8 sections that have 2-4 people in each one. And 1 section for the pilot. The pilot did an awesome job! A very smooth ride and landing. The ground crew was great too. They all worked very hard to make sure everyone had a memorable experience.

Our flight was late and...
Our flight was late and it took us quite a while to get through immigration and baggage pick up, but our driver who has been on time, waited for us. The vehicle was clean and we had no problem getting to our hotel.
We plan on using this service for our return trip to the Cairo airport.

Amazing experience
Absolutely amazing experience. We weren’t the first ones to take off as there were around 3 different staggered take offs but we got amazing views of the first round of balloons taking off. It was looking like our tour was going to be cancelled due to the wind but somehow my prayers were answered. Abdullah was really friendly and explained what was happening. Definitely worth it for the early start. We got picked up and dropped off aswell.

Nile Cruise
Excellent cruise which allows visits to so many wonderful historic sites. All staff very helpful. Food was great and boat clean and comfortable. By far the best aspect of our cruise was our guide; Ahmed. By far the best guide we have ever had. He was a wonderful person, kind and considering anything possible to make this an amazing experience. His knowledge and passion for Egyptology was outstanding. We can’t praise Ahmed enough, he made our holiday!

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.

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.
