I flew in the first balloon in Luxor, probably 25 years ago. Went back early April 2012 and repeated the experience; in fact it was an almost identical flight path over the incredible sites on the West bank. These days the balloons are bigger, more sophosticated, and better managed. But there was still that thrill of anticipation when I got... More

I will admit I was a bit anxious at the thought of hot air ballooning but my family were dead keen so I went along with it. Thank goodness I did! I would not hesitate to recommend this trip and the company are professional and thorough. Not scary one bit! Gentle take off and did not even feel the landing... More

What a balloon ride. Prompt pick up; careful safety directions, and a world class experience flying over the Nile and ancient tombs as the sun is rising. The entire experience was extraordinary! The delightful ending was a soft landing in a farmer's field with many children running to admire the ballon and help us out of our basket. In addition,... More

What a wonderful experience - 'Captain Bob' and his crew were wonderful and helped us relax and enjoy the trip that much more - watching the sky coming to life from the dizzy heights of the Luxor skyline in this awesome balloon was a must do...and if we are in Luxor again it IS something we will definitely be doing...

We'd been in Luxor for 5 days before we enquired about a balloon ride - the tour operators do offer this but it's very expensive. We went in to Magic Horizons offices which is opposite the Sonesta St Geroge and Nile Palace Hotels. The staff were very friendly and spoke really good English. When he told me it would cost... More

Traveling in Luxor can be difficult with the near-constant harassment from touts, caleche drivers and boatmen - a balloon trip is the perfect reprieve. It was by far the highlight of my 10-day trip to Egypt and I would go back again and again, if I could...and at the prices they offer, there is no reason not to. Do not... More
