Itinerary
Soar above Luxor’s West Bank for an aerial perspective of the city’s archaic sights. Enjoy scenes of vast temples and tall statues illuminated and richly colored by the sun sitting low in the sky. Your expert guide provides the essential context so you get the most from the flight. Take to the skies and experience the region by the light of sunrise as you glide over landmarks in a hot air balloon. Acquire necessary safety guidelines prior to your ride, then float up hundreds of feet. Observe the complex of temples and chapels at Karnak to the east, then cast your eyes to the west for views of Hatshepsut Temple in its dramatic spot at the foot of colossal cliffs. Spy the Colossi of Memnon rising up and seemingly guarding royal tombs. With informative historical and cultural narratives from your guide, gain a fantastic perspective of the ancient sites and magnitude of Luxor.

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. 🇪🇬✨
Great Experience
I really enjoyed the experience. It has been the wonderful one!! 👏👏
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.
