From Luxor- Hot Air Balloon Ride over the Valley of the Kings

About this activity

On a hot air balloon ride, quietly float through the skies above the Valley of the Kings. Watch Luxor from above and enjoy sweeping vistas of the most significant archaeological site on earth.

Take a 50-minute hot air balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings, the most significant archaeological site on earth, which will be illuminated by the sunrise’s shifting colours. Watch how the team on the ground helps the balloon to stand up and board. After a slow takeoff, you’ll merge with the wind and stop feeling like you’re moving. Enjoy the peace and quiet of ballooning, interrupted only by the sound of the burners. Enjoy the stunning vistas of Luxor’s numerous antique temples and tombs. As you soar over the fields, where people irrigate their property, gather crops, and tend to their animals, see the lives of farmers and other locals. The pilot will be sure to rotate the balloon throughout the trip so that everyone has an equal chance to observe and take some beautiful shots. Finally, your guide will demonstrate the correct landing position and help you land safely in a desert or empty are
