Your stay in Luxor would not be quite the same without a bird’s-eye view of the city from a hot air balloon, where you can see the Valley of the Kings, the Hatshepsut Temple RAMESSEUM Temple and the Nile. Just before dawn drive from your Luxor hotel to your cruise ship and cross the Nile to the West Bank, where your hot air balloon awaits you.After a safety briefing and an introduction to your ground crew and pilots, as well as your welcome English cake and soft drink, step into the basket of the balloon and get ready to take off. Then it’s time for the gentle climb to the morning sky.Off the beaten track, travel peacefully across the west bank of Luxor and sights such as the monuments of Thebes, the Valley of the Kings, the Hatshepsut Temple, the RAMESSEUM Temple and the Nile. The early morning sun rising over the eastern shore illuminates the city and the surrounding mountains.
