We take off from the designated Ballooning Airport controlled by the Luxor International Airport Authority on the West Bank of Luxor near the temple of Queen Hatshepsut.
Once aloft you will not notice turbulence or wind as you become one with the air currents. The basket hangs motionless in the air-mass in which it is suspended. In the calm conditions in which we fly there is nothing that can make the basket sway and the sense of movement is much more subtle than an elevator ride.
Passengers normally stand in the basket during flights, however we can accommodate those passengers who need to be seated.
On the East Bank of Luxor.
Please dress casually – jeans and flat heeled shoes. Although we usually land close to a road, you may be walking through fields. It is no colder in the balloon than on the ground, yet you may wish to bring a light jacket. Layered clothing is best.
The most commonly used balloons carry a maximum of 28 passengers.
The flight will be approximately 45 minutes.
