Pre-booked through Bales (GBP85 each) and after a windy few days we had a perfect dawn. Our pilot Amr kept very low, giving us a great view of West Bank temples such as Medinet Habu. Most of the others went higher and drifted over the fields nearer the river. We were up there for nearly an hour and enjoyed it... More

We had a fabulous flight. The team were very professional, and the views were unbeatable. More

Booked this balloon ride through Bales Worldwide since we were on a Nile cruise with them. This is definitely the best balloon company - the pilot is experienced and we were in the air for an hour right over the valley. Absolutely awesome. There were 24 of us in the basket and unlike UK balloon rides we were not required... More

I researched which company provided the best balloon flights in Luxor and time and time again Hod-Hod came out on top. I emailed a number of companies and all were prompt in responding. I read the reviews about Amr (one of the pilots and the best one) and paid a little more to fly with Hod-Hod. At the time they... More

From start to finish, our experience with Hod-Hod Soliman was amazing! We corresponded over email with Amr, who was also our pilot. He was very timely with responses. We were picked up from our hotel right on time, taken in a private van to the boats, where we rode across the Nile. Then we got into another private van to... More

We read the reviews of Hod Hod on this site and decided to book a trip for ourselves. Man...are we glad we did! The representative emailed us back almost immediately with confirmation of our booking. On the day of the excursion, Hod Hod picked us up from our cruise ship, docked some 5 km south of Luxor precisely at 4:45am.... More

This is easily the best way to gain a whole perspective of the west bank as morning life in Luxor unfolds beneath you, and you pass over nobles tombs, temples and Valley of the Kings, all as the sun rises. We were collected 5 mins late from the hotel but transported quickly to the landing site, with tea offered on... More

The best way to see the west bank, I have had two flights with Hod Hod Soliman . Collected on time from the hotel then cross the Nile as it starts to get light. good safety brief, coffee and biccies on the ferry. Both flights with pilot Ali, wonderful view of temples, villages and morning life as the sun rises.... More

This was a great experience in Luxor, gives you a complete perspective of the place, however I recommend to do it after your visit all the west bank you so you can know what is down there and identify it from the sky. Our pilot, Omar was excellent, he explain us everything and was very helpful. The attention of Laura... More
