Overall Very Good.

Booked HOD HOD through TA. Speedy confirmation of order. Reliable follow up and good communication re pick up 24 hrs before. Transfer to take off site was good. Loading the balloons was chaotic. 32 folks in 1 basket. You are in a cube of 4 and it doesn't allow much room for free movement. Don't take bulky bags and look for folk in your party that are also not carrying much. You will have a nicer time in flight. That said everything in flight was a great experience and felt extremely safe. Its something unique. I would do it again but maybe spend a bit more to get something slightly more exclusive.

Fabulous

A lot of passengers wore to many layers. Be prepared to climb in the basket it was pretty tall. Only complaint was transportation shuttle was packed!

Magnificent flight.

Magnificent experience, which we recommend to everyone! The guide Khaled was kind and caring. The pilot, Abdou, professional, with 10 years of experience and an instructor. The flight over the sites, the sunrise, unforgettable memories. Very smooth landing.
