Luxor and Aswan Package with Hot Air Balloon

Balloon flights over the Luxor West Bank launch at sunrise, so pickup from the ship is usually very early, often before 4:30am depending on the season.

Flights depend on morning wind and visibility conditions and are occasionally cancelled for safety. If that happens, operators normally reschedule for another morning during your stay or refund the flight.

The flight drifts over the Theban necropolis, with views across the Valley of the Kings, the Ramesseum, Medinet Habu, Hatshepsut's terraces and the green strip of the Nile against the desert.

It concentrates entirely on Upper Egypt, where the density of monuments is highest. It suits repeat visitors who have already seen the pyramids, or travellers who prefer depth in one region over covering the whole country.

No. This package begins on arrival in Luxor and ends on departure from Aswan, so flights into and out of Egypt are arranged separately. We can advise on the best connections.

Balloon baskets require climbing in and out and standing throughout the flight. Most reasonably mobile adults and older children manage fine, but tell us about any concerns when you enquire.
