Hot Air Balloon

What is a Luxor hot air balloon ride like?

Drifting silently above Luxor at sunrise is one of Egypt's most memorable experiences. The Nile glints below, Karnak's temples, the Colossi of Memnon, and the Valley of the Kings unfold in golden light, and the flight gives an aerial perspective photographs simply cannot replace.
