Good choice! - It was incredible experience! We have been all time long in connection with tour operator Marawan. I felt myself really good cared, I got clear instructions, smooth punctual pick up and drop off. 1 hour in the air, good view at the Valley of the Kings. Next time I would do it again with them.

Hot Air Balloon Luxor Experience - After an early start (roughly 5am) we had a short drive to the hot air balloon site near the temple of Hatshepsut. The build up was unusual with it seeming like no one had any idea what was happening, until they got clearance for the rides to go ahead. At which point, the experience really came alive and we clambered on board our balloon. Lifting off into the sky amongst what seemed like a hundred other balloons was a magical experience and one I would recommend to anyone who visits Luxor. You get a sense of peacefulness and the views were spectacular. The timing was great as the sun had just started rising, leaving an orange tinge on all the balloons. Full credit to the crews and driver of the balloons, they were in complete control from lift off to landing and my only regret is that we only went the once! 100% recommend.

Great experience - We had an amazing hot air balloon experience! Although we weren't in the first group to take off, we still got to enjoy the sunrise. We were also lucky enough to have a compartment all to ourselves.

I recommend it to everyone - An unforgettable experience! 🌅 The balloon flight in Luxor was simply magical: seeing the sunrise that lights up the temples, the Valley of the Kings and the Nile from above is something you can not describe in words. The organization was impeccable, all on time and safe, with kind and professional staff that made us feel comfortable from start to finish. A unique moment that I will always carry in my heart. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Luxor! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Must Do! - We booked the hot air balloon ride on the morning of our departure day at 4:30 a.m. It was a little chilly at first, but the entire process was smooth and well-organized. We rose just as the sun was coming up, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. Captain Mahmoud was wonderful, kindly pointing out the landmarks and sharing insights as we floated above the landscape. Seeing the green fields blending into the desert near the Nile, with the sun rising over Karnak Temple, and the West Bank sites like the Valley of the Kings and Medinet Habu in view, was an unforgettable experience. It was the perfect way to conclude our stay in Luxor, bringing together all the knowledge and impressions we had gathered from exploring both the East and West Bank. Truly magical and highly recommended!

Amazing reliable Company! - Good and honest people with amazing service!! Unfortunately my trip was cancelled due to bad weather conditions but the company rescheduled my trip to the next day at no extra cost, and when the weather conditions forced a cancelation again, they provided me with a full refund. Thank you!

Seamless VIP Experience in Egypt with Marawan - I had an amazing experience with Marawan! He arranged a last-minute upgrade to the VIP package, which was absolutely worth it—no crowds, no waiting, and plenty of time to enjoy the sights. He also made sure I got some great photos to remember the day. Marawan is a hardworking young entrepreneur, and I truly wish him the best in his business. Highly recommend!
