Tour Overview

Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Ride Over Luxor is a program planned for travelers who want to see Luxor from above during the early morning. This tour includes pickup and drop-off from your hotel, Nile Cruise, Luxor Airport, Luxor Train Station, or your location in Luxor, transfers to the balloon area, and a sunrise hot air balloon ride over the West Bank of Luxor.

This Luxor hot air balloon ride is one of the most requested Luxor Tours for travelers who want a different view of temples, tombs, fields, villages, mountains, the Nile River, and the main Luxor Attractions around Luxor, the Ancient City.

It is suitable for visitors searching for Luxor Trips, Luxor Excursions, Luxor Day Tours, and Luxor Day Trips that can be added before a full sightseeing day in Luxor.

During the balloon flight, you may see the West Bank of Luxor from above, including areas near the Valley of the Kings, used as a royal burial area for New Kingdom pharaohs mainly between the 16th and 11th centuries BC. The valley includes more than 60 discovered tombs, including the tomb of Tutankhamun, discovered in 1922.

You may also see areas near the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, built in the 15th century BC at Deir el-Bahari during the 18th Dynasty. The temple has 3 main terraces built against the limestone cliffs of the Theban West Bank.

You may also see areas near the Colossi of Memnon, two seated statues of Amenhotep III from the 14th century BC. Each statue is about 18 meters / 60 feet high and once stood at the entrance of the mortuary temple of Amenhotep III.

The flight may also give views toward other West Bank areas such as Medinet Habu, the Ramesseum, Deir el-Medina, the Valley of the Queens, and the Valley of the Nobles, depending on wind direction and flight route. These sites are connected with New Kingdom temples, royal tombs, workers’ villages, nobles’ tombs, and the ancient Theban necropolis.

The flight may also give views of agricultural land, villages, desert edge, mountains, and the Nile River. The West Bank of Luxor was part of ancient Thebes, one of Egypt’s most important religious and royal centers during the New Kingdom period, around 1550 BC to 1070 BC.

The route and view depend on wind direction and flight conditions on the day of your tour. The hot air balloon ride is operated according to aviation approval, weather conditions, wind direction, and safety instructions.

WOW Egypt Tours arranges this sunrise hot air balloon ride in Luxor with organized transfers and direct service. The tour includes pickup, transportation, motorboat crossing if required according to your pickup location, balloon company registration, the balloon ride, and drop-off after the flight.
