Have you ever flown in a hot air balloon over the amazing Luxor, the Nile River, and the green fields there? If not, then let us offer you such a unique experience in your life ever. Join this 2-day tour from Marsa Alam and discover the highlights of Luxor combined with a hot air balloon experience!

Day one: After an approximately five-hour drive, you head straight to the impressive Karnak Temple, followed by Luxor Temple with the Sphinx Avenue. Then it's time to rest your legs and tuck into a delicious set menu lunch followed by check-in at a 5-star hotel for overnight. In the evening, experience the sound and light show at Karnak temple, which is a 1½ hour Hollywood-style extravaganza that recounts ancient history.
Day two: check out in the early morning, crossing the Nile to meet your pilot, crew, and fellow passengers of the hot air balloon. Feel your excitement grows as the hot air balloon is inflated and you step into the basket. The Balloon rises so smooth you might not even know you left the ground. Fly over the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, plus the green fields next to local villages. Upon landing, your Egyptologist will be waiting for you to visit the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut and the staggering Colossi of Memnon. Another Nile experience onboard a felucca made your day while sailing towards the hotel for a delicious set menu lunch and then, driving straight away back to Marsa Alam.
