Best experience
I first flew 20 years ago and couldn’t wait to do it again! The organisation is superb with skilled and friendly crew - Ragab and Abdo The views are breathtaking and superb. A once in a lifetime experience!! You must do it Thankyou
TOTALLY NOT WORTH THE WAIT, MONEY AND LOTS OF DISAPPOINTMENT.
very bad experience, on many different aspects: IN SUMMARY: TOTALLY NOT WORTH THE WAIT, MONEY AND LOTS OF DISAPPOINTMENT. 1. crazy wait time: first to pickup, last to arrive, wait for extra 1-1.5 hrs in the van just to pickup tourists from other agencies, another 0.5 hr on the ground with heavy exhaust and dust just waiting for the agency guide 2. van is old, hot and smelly, making the wait rather unbearable 3. they will ask to shoot films and pictures of you without your prior consent, then ask for money if you need copies. I have bad knees and cannot jump or run as they want so I refused. HOWEVER, if you refuse to cooperate, you will be excluded by the guide and give you the worst position on the balloon basket. 4. unfulfilled promise: a motorboat across the Nile during pickup was promised but NEVER HAPPENED! LIERS! 5. Ballon very old, with patches on the surface. Old agency means old balloons 6. ground crew: insufficient and incapable. you will see other agency's ground team rushing to their balloons to arrive before landing. For this agency, you need to wait another 0.5 just for them to come, and they ask for tips with this kind of service 7. another unfulfilled promise: at first the promise to send you anywhere in Luxor, then they can only send you to this Alibaba Cafe. Very messy place and extremely hard to get a car. LIERS! 8. MOST IMPORTANTLY: DO NOT TRUST A THING ON THE VIEW OF THEIR POSTER. THE VIEW OF THE WEST BANK IS HIGHLY SUB-OPTIMAL. U WILL BE THRAWNED ABOUT HOW ORDINARY THAT IS.
Sunrise from the balloon: a unique experience
Actually, I went in SET/2024, and the experience was very worthwhile!! The way to the balloons is quick, the fact that it is very early is strategic. Watching the sunrise from the balloon is a unique experience. There are several balloons rising at the same time. The guides gave good directions so that we went to the correct balloon (there are many people in the place, it's important to stay close to the guide so you don't "lose" the group)
KINGS
A huge thank you to Yousir and Captain Regep for the best hot air balloon experience in Luxor. You guys are simply the best! 🎈❤️
Amazing balloon ride experience
We had the best experience with Hod Hod Soliman and our pilot Omar! He flew in different heights, made sure we got to see the complete West Bank with Valley of the Kings etc. from above, and the landing was incredibly smooth :) Pick up and drop off was also very uncomplicated :) We also booked a farm tour after that which made the experience even better!
