Views of the valley

A nice way to start the day with amazing views over the valley. The sunrise option was great. We were picked up from our cruise and all went well.

Amazing

Amazing experience. Seeing the temples, the Nile, and the desert from the hot air balloon was even more impressive than in the pictures. Everything was very well organized, safe, and the views were absolutely spectacular. Highly recommended.

Our beautiful flight at dawn!

We flew a balloon in an eight-person basket, everything was comfortable. Incredibly beautiful views, silence and dawn. The pilot is super fun, but professional! Thank you to the entire team from the guys who picked up from the hotel to those who helped launch/land the balloon. Thank you very much!

A top five lifetime experience

Insane experience! It’s so ridiculously quiet up there and it felt so safe too 👏 Our pick up was 420am and he found our villa (off the beaten track) no problem at 430am with a text message to keep us up to date with timings. That’s important because when you’re standing in the dark air outside your hotel without a soul around you do feel exposed. We picked up about 4-5 more couples from other hotels and we drove to the field of about 35 balloons. What a magnificent sight! Sunrise has not quite happened yet but the area is already filled with activity and a fierce roar of helium coupled with the flames is a feast for the senses. 100’s of local men are either filling their balloons with air, prepping baskets, coordinating transit vans, taking photos/videos or 500 guests are getting ready to line up with their weight balanced and take off before the sun rises. You can feel the . the urgency because the sun waits for no one. Once in the air, it’s surreal. Our captain Mohammed showed us how we reached 1,600feet and how the valley of the kings was below us. The Nile snaked through the desert terrain and the mist hung above it like a scarf. 45 minutes in the air and it was another world. I absolutely loved it and it’s up there in my top five experiences of all time. That includes flying over Victoria falls in a 4 seater plane-Climbing Kilimanjaro-safaris galore-living in Paris and shooting fashion in Marlon Brandon’s house, LA! Great company 👏👏👏 Great transit ✅✅✅ Safe balloon flight 👏👏👏 Great price✅✅✅ 🩵🩵🩵

Great experience

Very good communication, we were given lots of notice if the trip was confirmed or not the evening before . The only downside was we kept getting a different time sent so there was slight confusion there. Then the time was different again when we were collected. When we did get there it was a great atmosphere, you can see that safety is paramount, it was explained clearly to us how to get in and out the balloon and the landing position . I did feel the balloon was quite crowded with 4 people in one compartment so perhaps it may have been a better experience if you could move a little more . All in all, I recommend.

Operator response

Thank you very much for your kind review and for sharing your experience with us. We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed the atmosphere and that our team’s focus on safety and clear instructions made you feel comfortable during the flight. Regarding the different pickup times, Pickup times vary depending on the location of each hotel guests staying closer to the launch area are scheduled at a different time than those staying farther away. These timings are finalized and confirmed the evening before the trip to ensure the smoothest possible operation for everyone. As for the number of guests in each basket compartment, this capacity is determined by the Civil Aviation Authority and is strictly regulated for safety and weight balance. This setup is standard and widely used for hot air balloon flights around the world. Please rest assured that we always do our best to provide a smooth, well-organized experience with minimal waiting and maximum comfort for our guests. Thank you again for your recommendation. We truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you again soon for another memorable experience.

Great experience!

Great experience overall. Pick up was punctual, we spent a pretty long time waiting for our balloon to be ready, but once in air - it was magical. Definitely worth waking up at 4:30 am to see valley of the kings at sunrise.
