Itinerary
Your adventure begins early in the morning when our representative picks you up from your hotel. After a transfer to the marina, board a motorboat to the West Bank.
Upon arrival, you will be transferred to the take-off site, where your hot air balloon ride will begin. Glide gently over Luxor for around 45 minutes as the rising sun illuminates the temples, valleys, and farmlands below.
After landing, your guide will meet you at the Colossi of Memnon, two towering statues that have guarded the Theban necropolis for millennia.
Continue to the Valley of the Kings, where you will explore four royal tombs, including those of Ramses III, Merenptah, and Ramses IX. You will also have the option to visit the famous Tomb of Tutankhamun with an extra ticket.
Next, visit the magnificent Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, built by Egypt’s most powerful female ruler. Admire the terraces and chapels carved into the cliffs before heading to Luxor’s East Bank.
In the afternoon, explore the vast Karnak Temple Complex, home to the Avenue of Sphinxes, the Hypostyle Hall with its 134 massive columns, sacred lakes, and towering obelisks of ancient pharaohs.
Continue along the Avenue of Sphinxes to the stunning Luxor Temple, where colossal statues of Ramses the Great stand guard. This temple, beautifully lit at sunset, offers a perfect ending to your tour.
After a full day exploring Luxor from both the sky and the ground, you will be transferred back to your hotel.

About Luxor
Luxor stands on the site of ancient Thebes, with vast temples on the Nile's east bank and the royal tombs of the Valley of the Kings across the river.
On the east bank, the Karnak temple complex spreads across acres of pylons, obelisks and the forest of columns in its Great Hypostyle Hall. An avenue of sphinxes links it to Luxor Temple in the town centre, which is especially atmospheric when lit up in the evening. The Luxor Museum and the Mummification Museum sit along the riverside corniche.
