Waking up in the clouds, above the story. 🎈🌅 There is a moment, just before dawn, when the silence of the desert meets the wind. Flying in a hot air balloon over Luxor means seeing the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple and the Nile awaken beneath your feet, tinged with gold from the first ray of sunshine. A pure emotion that will make you feel part of the Egyptian sky. An experience that is not told, you live with your heart in your throat and your eyes full of wonder. Live your dream with Chery Viaggi. 🇪🇬✨

Just do it!

Amazing! From start to finish, pilot excellent, most gentle and well executed landing. Respectful of the farmers and avoided landing in their crops. Stunning views, the statues from the air still look huge, loved it and highly recommend, even if you don’t like heights like me.
