    Luxor

    Your journey begins early in the morning with a convenient pick-up from your hotel or Nile cruise in Luxor. You will be transferred to the balloon marina, where light refreshments are served before boarding a small motorboat to cross the Nile. Upon arrival at the launch site, watch as the giant balloons inflate and prepare for flight. As the sun rises, step into the basket and ascend gently into the sky. Enjoy a serene hot air balloon ride over Luxor’s breathtaking landscape, where you will admire views of ancient temples, the fertile Nile Valley, and the Theban Necropolis. The peaceful silence of the flight, broken only by the occasional roar of the burners, creates an unforgettable moment that will stay with you forever.
