The balloon ride on April 17, 2012 was fine. We were in the green and yellow balloon. However, a chap, who works for Dream Balloons, took a video of the before and after and then sold it for a fee which we paid. The deal included delivery to our hotel, the Nefertiti. We never received the DVD. This put a... More

For 300 EGP (about $50, plus tip for the pilot and ground crew), you get an experience of a lifetime.
