This trip was fantastic. An early start, but worth it to catch the sunrise. They were extremely safety conscious and the staff were all helpful and friendly. They served coffee and cake on the boat over to the West Bank which was a nice little wake up. Make sure you have plenty of change with you because the local children... more

Just a quick messege to anyone that would like to complete the fab sights of Luxor, then the hot air balloon is a must. My wife and I had the most mazing balloon flight with Magic Horizon. We suggest that fly with Bob (who was trained and qualified in England) as he made our experience both safe and enjoyable. We... more

We spent a wonderful two week holiday in Luxor and one of the highlights was our early morning balloon flight which we booked with Magic Horizon by visitng their office opposite The Nile Palace. The staff are English speaking and gave us a good deal. We had a safety briefing prior to the flight and were lifted in and out... more

I have read several reviews on hot air balloons in Luxor and being a frequent visitor to the area I would advise anyone considering a balloon ride to fly with Magic Horizon. They have the best balloons, made by Cameron balloons in the UK. I have read that some people are worried about overcrowding but I can vouch that all... more

After reviewing several posts on this web-site about Luxor attractions and specially balloon rides, I realized that safety was an important issue. Being a pilot myself, obviously has made me sensible about anything that goes up in the air. I contacted Magic Horizon directly by phone (got Bob on the phone) and then went in person to their branch office... more

I took my two children on a trip with Magic Horizons. We booked with the rep and it cost 35 english pounds. It would have cost 28-30 if booked with the magic horizons office. It was a great trip. They suddenly lift the women and children into the balloon but I insisted on doing this myself which was not the... more

We booked this the day before - rang up the company and they came round to our hotel. We haggled a bit - cost us E£420 each which we were happy with. We left just after 6, arrived at the lunch field over the other side of the Nile at about 7 and had a good hour's ride - absolutely... more

If you want to take a balloon ride in Luxor - defintely do it, just do NOT use the company Magic Horizon Balloon - Luxor. Many tour agencies use this company and I would check with the tour agency to make sure this company is NOT used. The captain that flew our balloon was extremely rude and condescending towards me.... more
