Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Flight
A sunrise hot air balloon flight over Luxor’s West Bank: hotel pickup before dawn, a short boat crossing to the launch field, and 45–60 minutes airborne as the sun rises over the Valley of the Kings and the temple of Hatshepsut. Prices start at $90 per person with hotel transfer included, and your flight is confirmed with us by WhatsApp or email before anything is paid.
Dawn over Valley of the Kings
Pre-dawn Liftoff
1,500ft Aerial Panoramas
Pre-flight Inflation
Smooth Landing
We request a first-wave take-off for every booking, so you are in the air as the sun crests the eastern horizon rather than an hour later, when the light turns harsh.

Balloon Flight Questions
How long is the balloon flight in Luxor?
You are airborne for 45–60 minutes. Count around three hours door to door: pickup at your hotel around 04:30 AM, the boat crossing and inflation, the flight itself at sunrise, and the return to your hotel by about 07:30 AM.
What happens if the weather cancels my flight?
Balloons fly only in safe wind and visibility, so civil aviation can ground a flight on short notice. If that happens you choose a full refund or a rebooking to the next available morning — tell us which you prefer and we handle it with the operator.
What is included in the price?
Every package includes hotel pickup and return, the West Bank boat crossing, the 45–60 minute flight, and a flight certificate. Deluxe adds a private boat with snacks and video footage; Private VIP gives your group its own basket. See the comparison table above.
Can I combine the balloon with a West Bank tour?
Yes — this is the classic Luxor day. You land around 07:00 AM, have time for breakfast, and your private Egyptologist-led West Bank tombs and temples tour starts from there. Tell us in your request and we arrange the same-day connection.
Do I pay now when I book?
No. Sending the form or messaging us on WhatsApp is an availability request, not an instant booking. We confirm the flight, the price and the pickup details with you first — then you decide.
