a premium private Luxor adventure combining a sunrise hot-air balloon flight with a professionally guided cultural tour.
Wake up to a sunrise you’ll never forget. Your private driver collects you from your hotel in Hurghada, El Gouna, Makadi Bay, Sahl Hasheesh, Soma Bay or Safaga and takes you to Luxor, where you float over the Nile Valley in a hot air balloon at dawn. Then spend the day with your own Egyptologist guide at the Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut, Colossi of Memnon and Karnak Temple, with a relaxed lunch and a felucca ride on the Nile. This is a private tour: only your group, your pace, and you’re back at your hotel the same evening.
