We have flown thousands of guests over Luxor. Here is a fair picture of what they say — including the bits people complain about.
What guests praise most
- The moment the sun clears the eastern cliffs. It comes up behind Karnak and lights the necropolis from the side. Almost every review mentions it.
- The pilots. Guests consistently comment on how calm the pilots are and how much they explain during the flight.
- The organisation. Pickup on time, no waiting around at the field, back at the hotel in time for breakfast.
- Value. Booked direct, a Luxor balloon flight is one of the best-value experiences in Egypt.
What guests find hard
Two things, honestly:
- The alarm clock. A 04:00 pickup is genuinely early, especially if you arrived in Luxor the night before. Nobody has ever told us it was not worth it, but plan an early night.
- The cold. People pack for Egypt and arrive at the launch field in shorts. Bring a jacket — see flight information.
Read reviews independently
We would rather you read reviews somewhere we cannot edit them. Look us up on Tripadvisor, Google, Viator and GetYourGuide — the links are in the footer of this page.
When you are comparing Luxor balloon companies, read the three-star reviews rather than the five-star ones. They tell you how a company behaves when the weather cancels a flight, which is the only thing that really distinguishes operators here.
Leave us a review
If you have flown with us, a few sentences on Tripadvisor or Google genuinely helps — and it helps the next traveller more than anything we could write ourselves. If something was not right, message us first; we would rather fix it than read about it.
