Very disappointing organization. The balloon flight itself was beautiful and the pilot was professional, but that is where the positive experience ends. The overall organization was far below standard and did not match what was promised in advance. The bus arrived late, was outdated, and clearly not suited for the number of passengers. Instead of the promised private transfer for our group of 8 people, additional passengers were added without any prior communication, and multiple unannounced hotel pick-ups were made. The promised breakfast was also not provided. What is most concerning is the lack of accountability afterward. No apology was offered, only vague explanations such as “it was too busy” and “we wanted to be on time.” Failing to meet clear commitments and then minimizing the issue is unacceptable. This organization creates expectations it cannot fulfill. We strongly advise others to avoid this provider.
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with the experience, as we always aim to provide the best service to our guests. However, we would like to clarify that the hot air balloon ride was completed as scheduled, and no concerns were raised during or immediately after the flight. The agreed payment of $150 for this service is still outstanding despite several reminders sent after the trip. We also note that the concerns were raised only after the payment request was sent. We remain open to reviewing any feedback, but kindly request that the pending payment of $150 be settled so we can resolve this matter professionally.
First of all, book the second ride because it cost less and you will end up in the same ride as the people who paid for the first ride. By the time you get on a balloon, sunrise will have come and gone, and you will have a wonderful fun experience in a hot air balloon. Do not expect to be in the sky, watching the sunrise, no matter what time you book. The people who operate the balloons have to wait for the airport authority to tell them that the air is OK for them to go up because of the wind is blowing in the direction of the airport. It will not allow them to go fly. The whole watch the sunrise thing is just a way to attract you. You can actually watch the authority send up a weather balloon and watch the direction it goes; if it heads towards the mountains, you’re good to go if it heads away from the mountains, you may not be flying that day. We paid for the $55 a person for the 45 minute balloon ride, it was supposed to come with breakfast, but we never saw any food. That was fine because we preferred to eat breakfast at the hotel. Overrall the people we dealt with and the ride itself were terrific. I highly recommend this as a part of your luxury experience. Our pilot was Sam and it was obvious he was very experienced and that was wonderful. The person who met us at the hotel was. A young man named Mohammed. He was also terrific. I’m a senior and he helped me on and off the bus and in and out of the balloon. There are also going to be young people there trying to sell you things. It was the first time I saw people trying to sell photographs with birds, most had parakeets or some version of that but one young man had a trained owl definitely the first time I had met one of them up close. Be prepared to pay a little if you want to take a photograph, holding the bird. I highly recommend this experience.

Best experience of my Luxor holiday. The view was mesmerising! Sand gold valley of kings and green crop fields made a beautiful view of contrast. Pilot was professional, and his crew on land was hardworking and jolly!

Mohamed Awad organized an unforgettable sunrise hot air balloon flight over Luxor, and it was truly magical. From start to finish, everything was perfectly arranged, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Floating above the temples and valleys as the sun rose was breathtaking, and Mohamed ensured we had the best views and an amazing time. His professionalism, attention to detail, and warm hospitality made this adventure even more special. If you’re in Luxor, I highly recommend booking with Mohamed—he’ll make your experience extraordinary!
