Itinerary
- 1This 3-hour program begins very early in the morning with a pick-up at your Luxor hotel or Nile cruise ship. You’ll then transfer to a motorboat to reach the West Bank, and enjoy a refreshing drink en route. Once you disembark you will be transferred to the take-off area, where your hot-air balloon ride above the world's largest open-air museum begins. The balloon ride is scheduled right in time for you to experience a spectacular sunrise. The flight lasts for 45 minutes, and takes you over the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Hatshepsut. After landing, you will be transferred back to your hotel or ship in Luxor

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- tonybU1354OE0 contributionsWonderful day out from Luxor.We had the most beautiful knowledgeable lady as our guide . Nagah was amazing and so friendly she treated us like family. I would highly recommend her for your guide.Written March 16, 2025
- Johnanddragon0 contributionsJust do it!We booked with Presidential Nile Cruises and were nothing but delighted. Our ship, The MS Nile Odessey was lovely. Our cabin, general facilities, food all great. Nothing was too much trouble. The ship travelled near silently so not even this disturbed your peace and relaxation. All of the sights that we visited were amazing but Abu Simbel was breathtaking. How on earth this was achieved just blew my mind. Not really a holiday for young families but definitely one worth doing.Written February 16, 2025
- RUSNIC0 contributionsNile cruiseJust returned from 10 days in Egypt. 3days in Hurgarda at The old Palace hotel and 7 days Nile cruise on the Grand Mandarin The hotel is top class . We were upgraded to the Grand Mandarin due to a shortage of passengers . The boat was superb and the crew excellent . Our Guide Sam was a real find ,nothing to much trouble and his knowledge of the sites was very good . The numbers of tourists are well down and it is a great pity . The people are very friendly and and we never felt concerned at anytime . Great time to visit , we booked through Classic Egypt , but I think due to numbers being down Orbital travel were the company that dealt with us .In the interest of being honest I will say is very tiring with a few early starts , but so worth itWritten March 24, 2024
- kimberleys9010 contributionsKhalid was a wonderful guide!I visited the East and West banks of Luxor with Khalid, he was an excellent guide! Very kind and knowledgeable about Egyptian art and history, and he went above and beyond to make every effort to ensure that I had the best experience. Also very passionate about his work and Egypt, many thanks for the memorable experiences!Written September 15, 2023
- Queenie89640 contributionsThoughtful journey in Luxorour guide Khaled in Luxor was very helpful as he helped us to get the tickets earlier and we could skip the queue. Khaled also showed us to places that can be easily missed. Our driver was very good too who took us from point to point under the hot weather. Good travel overall!Written April 20, 2023
- 52juliant0 contributionsNice experienceNice older guy who takes care about his clients and also goes out of his way to make you feel good. Knows when and where the crowds are and at least tries to avoid them. Our travel agency messed up and he made sure that we get something in return for it (free romantic felucca ride). Aside from being knowledgeable, I liked that he stopped on the side of the street to buy a watermelon for dessert. I am a person who loves information and learning about culture and history, for this I would have liked even more information but I know in that limited time this is hard to fulfill. If you are like me, consider at least a second day in Luxor with a guide.Written March 24, 2023
- xiaoyiwx0 contributionsOne day tour in LuxorI had one day tour in Luxor with Khaled. He gave us a nice experience and it was interesting the way he explain the history of the temples. Boat time on Nile river was also amazing! Thx a lot!Written March 9, 2023
- Odette1233560 contributionsCairo and LuxorGreat tour! A good way to tick off the major attractions in Cairo and Luxor. Both our guides in Cairo, Abdul and in luxor Khaled were amazing!Written March 9, 2023
- J8409SJmichelleo0 contributions2 star at bestCruise ship was more 2 star than 5 star. Door was dodgy, couldnt lock from inside, difficult to open from the outside, had to ask staff multiple times for help, 3 pin socket also didn't work. Was told by staff that none of them work in any rooms. Shower didn't work either which staff did fix, however I had an accident so needed to use bath instead and the water was only luke warm. Wouldn't reccomend this cruiseWritten February 6, 2023
- AaronMasc0 contributionsNile cruiseTalaat Abdo was a great guide, very knowledgeable and well organized. He made the tour super easy and we had a great time from the temples to the hot air ballooning. We were able to see all the sites on the agenda without any issues. I’d recommend him to other folks if cooked via this tour.Written January 18, 2023
- M5993SLdanielc0 contributionsExcellentWe had a great time touring Egypt with fantastic and informative guides Abdelbaset aka Abdo (in Cairo) and Talaat Abdo (in lower Egypt to Luxor). We were able to see all the main sites and landmarks and had a comfortable stay on the cruise. There was so much to see and take in and we’re wonderfully informed at each site by both your guides. We included camel riding and the excursion to Abu Simbel which were well worth doing. Our family of 4 (including two kids - 8 and 12) loved the trip and will remember this experience always. Thank you for the memories.Written January 18, 2023
- B9900PVryanr0 contributionsBrought the temples to lifeI used EMO Tours for this package. Ahmed Kassem was my tour guide. He was awesome! He brought the temples to life by explaining their history, giving me personalized attention and even taking my cheesy pictures. He went above and beyond to give me the best experience possible. On my next trip to Egypt I am specifically requesting him.Written December 10, 2022
- Neelann210 contributionsGreat tour GuideAmazing tour guide. His experience and professionalism is second to none. Will definitely be back. Thank you, Khaled.Written November 29, 2022
- 317kiahf0 contributionsSimply IncredibleWhere to even begin. Put simply, Khaled was an incredible guide! He was so flexible with our schedule and accommodated any requests or adjustments we may have had. We felt safe and in good care throughout the entire day and left our tour feeling more than satisfied. I’d highly recommend Khaled for anyone hoping to experience a thoughtfully put together tour with a terrifically kind human being.Written November 28, 2022
- Sarah D0 contributionsVery thorough tourExcellent and thorough tour. Khaled provided in-depth information at each of the sites. The tour lasted about 10 hours and we were wiped out by the end of the dayWritten November 26, 2022
