Soar above the Valley of the Kings and the Nile at sunrise on a peaceful hot air balloon flight over Luxor's ancient West Bank.

Drift above Luxor's West Bank at dawn on a 45-minute hot air balloon flight, watching temples, royal tombs, sugarcane fields and the Nile spread out below as the sky shifts through shades of gold and pink.

Lift-off happens just before sunrise, so our team collects you and gets you to the launch site while the desert air is still cool and calm — ideal conditions for ballooning. From high above, you'll spot the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut's Temple, and Medinet Habu laid out like a living map, a perspective almost impossible to get any other way in Luxor.

Flown by licensed, experienced pilots who know these skies well, this flight suits first-time balloon riders and seasoned travelers alike. It's a quiet, unforgettable way to greet the day in one of Egypt's most storied landscapes — and a photo opportunity you won't find anywhere else.
