Sunrise Hot air balloon in Luxor

“A sunrise hot air balloon flight in Luxor provides an unforgettable chance to view one of the world’s greatest archaeological landscapes from above, all while enjoying the breathtaking glory of an Egyptian sunrise. Floating over the Valley of the Kings, the Nile River, and ancient temples, this experience blends adventure, history, and outstanding natural beauty into one amazing flight.”

• Early Morning Start: Depending on season and weather, your hot air balloon flight usually starts at 3:00 AM or earlier in order to take in sunrise. After getting picked up from your hotel, you will be driven to the launch location, where you will be ready for flight as the initial golden rays of dawn appear on the horizon.
• Inflation and Takeoff: The balloon will be inflated as soon as you get to the launch location, which can be an exciting and dramatic sight. When you are ready, get inside the basket and watch as the balloon slowly and gently rises. A calm ambiance is produced by the early morning quiet and the serene move as the sun rises.
• Watching the Sunrise: You will be able to see the Nile River, which winds across the landscape below, in uninterrupted view as the balloon rises higher. The sky will change from the dark blue of the night to bright oranges, pinks, and golds as the sun rises, lighting the ancient temples and ruins below with stunning light. The sunrise itself is a peaceful and beautiful moment as the valley gradually gets illuminated.
