I took a flight with Hod-Hod Solimans' in March 2009 on the final day of my weeks cruising between Luxor and Aswan. Pilot was very skilled, informative and amusing. The flight took myself and 19 other passengers up high enough to see both the valleys of the Kings and Queens, and an excellent view of both banks of the Nile... more

We were so lucky as just prior to going to Luxor on 21st October the hot air balloons were not running,however,the day before we left to come home they started up again and what an experience! the staff including the ground staff are fantastic and you even get a t-shirt and a certificate to celebrate your ride over Luxor and... more

Hi everyone, I too have had a great ride in the past with Hod Hod Soliman Ballooning at Luxor. Really was an experience not to be missed. I booked from the UK before I travelled to ensure that I had a place reserved - I couldn't find them direct on the internet so used the services of www.addictedtotravel.com. The service... more

Each time has been different - size of basket, area viewed, time in the air - but never disappointing. You would generally expect to be in... more

Fantastic experience, well worth it. Balloon basket feels safe and secure and pilot will only go as high as the group is comfortable with. more

A sunrise balloon ride at the west bank area in luxor is a wonderful experience. Book it directly at one of the travel agencies next to the old winter palace; you will need to bargain a bit but it will lliterally cost you half or even a third (we paid 250 Egyption pound pp, whereas our hotel asked 95EUR pp!... more

I would just like to say what a fantastic experience my boyfriend and I had with this company. We did many excursions and this excelled above others for the professionalism of all the staff and the company. There was no other alternative motive (ie selling you something) other than giving you an unforgettable experience!!! The Pilot was obviously exceptionally skilled... more
