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.

After your balloon ride, receive a commemorative flight certificate and a small gift. Your private guide will then escort you to the West Bank to explore the legendary Valley of the Kings. This remarkable burial ground for pharaohs features elaborately decorated tombs carved deep into the mountainside. You will have the chance to visit several royal tombs, with the option to enter the world-famous tomb of King Tutankhamun for an additional fee.

Next, continue to the magnificent Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, one of Egypt’s most impressive architectural achievements. Built against dramatic limestone cliffs, this temple stands as a symbol of the reign of the only female pharaoh of Ancient Egypt. Learn about her remarkable legacy and admire the temple’s striking terraces and intricate reliefs.

On your way back, stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two towering statues that once guarded the grand Mortuary Temple of Amenhotep III. Standing tall for over 3,400 years, these colossal figures continue to inspire awe with their size and historic significance.

Finally, you will be transferred back to your hotel or Nile cruise, carrying with you unforgettable memories of this extraordinary day in Luxor.
