All about the trip
What’s better than uniquely knowing Luxor? Well, knowing Luxor in two unique ways. Your day begins with a sunrise pick-up from your hotel to the starting point of this adventure, on the Nile river bank. While the crew prepares your balloon, you can enjoy a delicious breakfast and please your eyes with the beautiful surrounding views.
After a short introduction to the activity, you get into the wicker basket to glide in the skies of Egypt. As you go up, you start to fly over ancient sites constructed thousands of years ago. Set on the east bank of Nile River in the southern part of the country, Luxor is known for its incredible underground mausoleums and temples constructed between the 16th and 11th centuries BC. From your balloon, experience unique views of places like Valley of the Kings, the Colossi of Memnon, and the Karnak temple.
After about one hour, it is time to change the elements and explore Luxor on horseback or camel. During this part of your adventure, you pass by Bedouin villages and farms. It is an opportunity to have a closer look at the views you saw before.
As it wasn’t enough, you still have the third part of this trip. It is time for Felucca sailing to Banana Island. If you prefer, you can take a riverboat. On your way to the island, you can contemplate the local wildlife, and sugarcane and banana farms.
With the astonishing views from the skies and the amazing experience of sailing on the Nile, the memories of this tour will be forever kept in your mind.
