Fly Over Luxor
At Sunrise

The flight itself lasts 35 to 45 minutes in the air. Allow around 3 to 3.5 hours door to door, including hotel pickup, the safety briefing, inflation, the flight, the landing celebration and the drive back to your hotel or Nile cruise.

Prices start at $65 per person for the standard sunrise flight, $125 for the balloon-plus-Luxor-tour package and $180 for the premium small-basket experience. Booking direct with us includes hotel transfers, insurance, a flight certificate and refreshments, with no booking fee.

Yes. Every flight is operated under the regulations of the Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority by licensed commercial balloon pilots, with fully insured passengers, modern equipment inspected before each flight, and a strict no-fly rule whenever wind or visibility falls outside safe limits.

Wear comfortable closed shoes, long trousers and a light jacket or fleece — early mornings in Luxor are cool even in summer, and layers come off once the sun rises. Bring a hat, sunglasses and your camera; the basket has room for it.

October to April offers the most comfortable temperatures and the highest number of flyable mornings. Balloons fly year round in Luxor, and summer flights take off earlier when the air is coolest and calmest.

If we cannot fly safely we reschedule you to the next available morning at no extra cost, or refund you in full. Safety decisions are made by the pilot in charge on the morning of the flight and are never negotiable.

Children aged 6 and over are welcome and travel at a reduced fare, provided they are tall enough to see over the basket edge and are accompanied by an adult. We do not carry children under 6 for safety reasons.

Yes — we collect from every hotel in Luxor, from Nile cruise docks on both banks, and from West Bank guest houses at no extra charge. Send us your hotel or ship name on WhatsApp at +20 100 444 0698 and we will confirm your pickup point.

From the basket you look down on the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, the Colossi of Memnon, the Ramesseum, sugar cane fields and the Nile, with Karnak and Luxor Temple on the eastern bank as the sun comes up.
