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 unforgettable and unmissable day trip.
We had a truly wonderful time on this trip. Everything ran smoothly and super efficiently, even though it was a very long day! All the sites we visted were amazing - especially Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings. Our guide, Dina, was exceptional - knowledgeable, informative, helpful and very pleasant. Unforgetteable!

Sensational experience – Professional pilot and fantastic views!
An absolutely fantastic experience! It’s important to know that the company sets the start time. After some back-and-forth, we agreed on a 4:15 AM hotel pickup (originally planned for later). We actually took off shortly after sunrise around 5:30 AM. Although we were among the later launches, it didn't take away from the experience at all—the colors of the morning sky were stunning.
The pilot was sensational, clearly very experienced and professional. A big plus was the basket size; we were in a smaller basket with only 20 people, rather than the usual 32, which made it feel much more personal. We reached an altitude of 3,350 ft and enjoyed perfect weather conditions during our 40-minute flight. The landing was incredibly smooth.
Don't let the fixed start times stress you out; the experience is breathtaking no matter when you launch. A very reliable company and highly recommended!

Amazing experience, a must do in Luxor
Initially cancelled due too wind, but rebooked for the following day and luckily the weather improved and the flight went ahead. It was an amazing experience, very well organised, and the crew was super professional and accommodating. I took the sunrise ride and I'd recommend it to everyone who is visiting Luxor. You won't regret!

Wonderful tour of Saqqara, Dahshur and Memphis
As a family of four including two children we spent the day with Hassan (our amazing guide) and Sabry (our excellent driver) exploring Saqqara, Dahshur, and Memphis. Hassan was friendly and deeply knowledgeable about all the monuments and was happy to share that knowledge with us. He was happy to go at our pace and was great with the kids. Sabry drove us carefully and safely in his comfortable minibus. I couldn't recommend this tour highly enough, it was superb!

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.

A bucket list experience
Beautifully organized trip from on time pick up to perfect sunrise view in the air. This tour is exactly as advertised. The pilot was very experienced and absolutely amazing - ensuring we lifted off, floated, and landed in the best locations, with everyone getting a chance to see and take great instagrammable pictures over the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut, the exact time of the sunrise peeking over the mountains & Nile River. Sindbad team was responsive over WhatsApp, answering all of my questions in advance day & night. Thank you Lily! Highly recommend.

Outstanding views, expert pilot
If you're interested in the best views of the valley of kings and the surrounding area, nothing beats this tour. Or guide/pilot demonstrated incredible control, precision and accurately launching,guiding and landing our balloon. He set it down on a dime. 🙂

Really good trip....
Really good trip. Fascinating to watch the sun rise while a field of hot air balloons were being blown up. The hamper was large and fit 16 passengers (4 per compartment). I got a great panaramic photo when the pilot rotated the balloon. So glad I had a wrist strap on my phone so I could take photos leaning out of the hamper.

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.

Great cruise over the Nile
The room was clean, spacious, with a big window to look outside. The bathroom was also good, with hairdryer, shower and amenities.
The swimming pool was a plus, and a great way to see the Nile. The restaurant offered different options and the staff was always very kind and ready to help.

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.

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.
