About this tour

Experience Luxor from the sky, the land, and the Nile on this signature full-day (1-day) experience combining a 45-minute sunrise hot air balloon flight over West Bank Thebes with a private guided East Bank tour of Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, the Luxor Museum, and the Mummification Museum, plus a sunset wooden Felucca sail and Nile-view lunch. Accompanied by a private licensed Egyptologist guide for all monuments, this unforgettable day includes 1 lunch (breakfast and dinner are not included).

Depart your Luxor hotel or cruise ship at 05:00 for a motorboat transfer across the Nile to the West Bank balloon launch field. Lift off at sunrise (approx. 05:45–06:30) for a 45-minute hot air balloon flight floating above the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, the Ramesseum, the Colossi of Memnon, and green Nile fields before returning briefly to your hotel to refresh (or continuing directly at 08:30).

From 09:00 to 13:00, join your private Egyptologist on the East Bank to explore the Karnak Temple Complex and Luxor Temple, followed by lunch at a Nile-side restaurant (13:00–14:00). In the afternoon, visit the air-conditioned Luxor Museum and Mummification Museum (14:00–16:00) and conclude with a 1-hour golden-hour sail aboard a private wooden Felucca on the Nile (16:00–17:00) before returning to your hotel by 17:30. Practical Note: Rated Easy (ages 6–80).
