But the moment the balloon started to lift off, I actually got tears of joy. It was such a magical experience, something I’ll never forget. I’d recommend it to anyone, even if you’re scared like I was. The team was super professional, organized, and made me feel completely safe. Truly amazing!”

“The trip to Karnak and Luxor Temples were amazing. Our guide Mohamed Alazeb was so knowledgeable he explained the history of the area and temples, and what the temples had been used for. Mohamed was really helpful and would be an excellent guide to ask for doing this trip.

Last but not least our driver Hassan was brilliant. Private car on time, great driver, really helpful, and taught me some Arabic. Great trip with good memories…”

“Trip was well organised, food was good, workers were friendly. Hot air balloon was the highlight of the trip. Extra spending included all entrance tickets and tips. Be prepared to get up early at 3:30 or 4:00 every morning. Our guide Mr Ahmed shawky Ali is extremely knowledgeable as a former academic in the field, explained things loudly and clearly. However, at times we felt that his explanations were short when compared with some other guides, he could have explained more for us to gain further from his vast knowledge of ancient Egypt.”
