- Vacation283512537320 contributionsAmazing early-morning balloon ride with Sindbad BalloonsIt was a wonderful experience! We had the most amazing pilot - calm, spot-on, funny and a great guide taking care of us starting from pick-up and meeting on the boat ride across the Nile, the drive to the balloon start and landing site and back across the Nile all the way to the hotel. And all within the planned time frames-frame which I very much appreciated as I had a conference to attend to right after. Also big thanks to the crew that pulled the balloon to the exact spot after landing. Definitely an experience nobody should miss!Written March 16, 2025

- 144markosp0 contributionsAmazingI had an amazing experience that I’ll never forget! Mohamed truly proved himself to be the best pilot. His professionalism and skills in the air were unparalleled, making the whole journey smooth and enjoyable. But the real highlight of the trip was Alaa. Without a doubt, he’s the biggest ‘Papatzis,’ and for that, we all absolutely love him. His humor, charisma, and personality made the experience even more memorable. Alaa’s energy and charm turned an already great trip into something extraordinary. It’s rare to meet someone like him, and we’ll definitely be talking about this adventure for a long time!Written March 3, 2025

Actually, a balloon ride wasn't on our agenda. But when we saw the balloons in the sky on the trip to Hatsehsput Temple, we decided to do the same.
We booked directly in the office of Hot Air Balloon and did so a lot cheaper than when again the about the tour guide on the river cruise ship.
Pick up, briefing worked perfectly.
Almost simultaneously, over 50 balloons rose, a great experience. And then the view over archaeological sites to the Valley of the Kings ! The sunrise was the next highlight.
After about 45 minutes (duration may vary) we landed well again and had a big grin on our face all day.
Thanks to Boghdady for the smooth handling !

*5/5 Excellent*
I had the thrill of a lifetime today, taking a hot air balloon ride with Sindbad Company in Luxor, Egypt! The experience was truly fantastic, and I highly recommend it to every visitor.
The entire experience was seamless, from the initial booking to the post-flight celebration. Our coordinator, Mr. Smiky, was exceptional in his support and friendly service. He ensured that we were well-prepared for the flight and provided us with all the necessary information.
Our balloon pilot, Mr. Husian, was outstanding in his navigation of the balloon. He ensured the safety of all passengers, especially families and kids, and provided us with breathtaking views of the Nile River and the surrounding landscape.
The flight itself was incredibly smooth

Unmissable experience with a great company. Very well organised from hotel pick-up, ferry transfer across the Nile to the West Bank, travel to launch site, balloon flight and return to hotel in time for breakfast. Early hotel pick-up 4:30 am so you get to the balloon for take off in time to see the sunrise over the Nile, surrounded by many other balloons which is a spectacular sight. Very experienced Balloon Pilot Captain Khaled who we have flown with before (ask for him if you can when booking). Check weather forecast to make sure its not too windy as they can't take off if its too bad. Doesn't happen often, but best to book a day earlier in your schedule just in case they have to cancel and re-schedule. We were lucky this year as the day after our flight it was too windy and all flights cancelled for several days! It's a great once in a lifetime experience (even if you're a little scared of heights!) as you feel completely safe at all times.

Such an amazing experience. Everything was very well organised our pilot Karim took good safe care of us. It’s incredible to see how many people are needed in the team to make the balloon fly and land.

Riding a hot air balloon is a unique and unforgettable experience. The gentle ascent is both exciting and calming. From high above, you can enjoy breathtaking views of nature, like a stunning painting coming to life. The open skies and peaceful atmosphere make it truly special. Highly recommended!
