What to expect

You can choose between a shared or a private tour. For private tours, select the option that corresponds to your group size: Option 1 for one participant, Option 2 for two participants, and so on up to Option 6, which applies to groups of 6 to 15 participants.

Experience the pinnacle of Luxor with a full-day guided excursion that marries iconic landmarks with an awe-inspiring hot air balloon ride. Your day commences with an early morning transfer to the West Bank of the River Nile, where you'll ascend at sunrise for a flight of approximately 45 minutes. As you gently elevate above the landscape, soak in panoramic vistas of the Nile Valley, ancient temples, and traditional villages bathed in the morning light.

Upon landing near the Colossi of Memnon, meet your knowledgeable guide and continue your ground exploration. Take a moment to appreciate these towering 60-foot statues before proceeding to the Valley of the Kings, formerly known as the "Place of Truth." Here, you'll explore three royal tombs embellished with vivid murals and intricate hieroglyphics that shed light on ancient Egyptian perceptions of the afterlife.

Venture next to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a remarkable terraced monument etched into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari, honourable to one of Egypt's most influential leaders. Then, traverse the Nile to the East Bank aboard a traditional felucca, savour a tranquil and scenic interlude on the river before reaching a local eatery for a leisurely lunch.

Round off your journey at Karnak Temple, an expansive compound of sanctuaries, pylons, and obelisks devoted to the Theban gods. Return to your accommodation carrying enduring memories of a day that seamlessly fuses adventure, history, and culture.
