The world's greatest open-air museum, on both banks of the Nile.
Ancient Thebes, today's Luxor, holds more of Egypt's monuments than anywhere else. On the east bank stand Karnak — the largest religious building ever raised — and Luxor Temple, lit up at night. On the west bank lie the tombs: the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut's terraced temple, and the Colossi of Memnon.
Float over all of it in a hot-air balloon at dawn, then walk the tombs with an Egyptologist. We shape the days around your interest and pace.
October to April for comfortable days. The balloon flies year-round, weather permitting, and is best at sunrise.
Private, tailor-made journeys featuring Luxor — reshaped around your dates before you travel.
Two full days covers both banks without rushing. Add a third for the balloon and a slower pace.
Most guests call it the highlight of the whole trip. It's optional, weather-dependent and refundable if it can't fly.
We usually do the west bank (tombs) early to beat the heat, and the east bank temples later or in the evening.
