Early Morning – Sunrise Departure
Your unforgettable journey begins just before dawn. A Tripora Tours representative will greet you at your hotel or cruise and escort you across the Nile by motorboat to Luxor’s West Bank — the launch site for your hot air balloon ride.
While you sip on coffee or tea, the balloons are prepared for flight. Then, as the sun begins to rise, you’ll gently ascend into the sky and glide over Luxor’s breathtaking landscape.
From above, you’ll spot:
-
🏛 Valley of the Kings — the royal burial site of New Kingdom pharaohs
-
🏺 Hatshepsut Temple — carved into the cliffs in honor of Egypt’s most powerful queen
-
🗿 Colossi of Memnon — twin statues guarding the West Bank for over 3,400 years
-
🌿 The Nile’s green floodplains, framed by golden desert on each side
The entire flight lasts between 45 to 60 minutes, offering ample time to soak in the views and take stunning photos. After your gentle landing, you’ll receive a flight certificate — a special memento from your time in the skies over ancient Thebes.
You’ll then be transferred back to your hotel or cruise with memories that will last a lifetime.
