We were so lucky as just prior to going to Luxor on 21st October the hot air balloons were not running,however,the day before we left to come home they started up again and what an experience! the staff including the ground staff are fantastic and you even get a t-shirt and a certificate to celebrate your ride over Luxor and... more

Hi everyone, I too have had a great ride in the past with Hod Hod Soliman Ballooning at Luxor. Really was an experience not to be missed. I booked from the UK before I travelled to ensure that I had a place reserved - I couldn't find them direct on the internet so used the services of www.addictedtotravel.com. The service... more

We had a week in Egypt on a Nile Cruise. The best holiday we have ever had, We were collected from our ship at 04.30am and crossed the Nile river via an egyption motor boat, the a very short journey by mini bus to Hot Air Balloon where we met our pilot Hod-Hod Soliman. He gave us a very clear... more

I would thoroughly recommend Hod-Hod Soliman for hot air ballooning in Luxor. It was a very emotional experience - I never thought I'd get to Luxor let alone have the privilege of seeing it from the air. Our pilot was very good and gave us lots of information about what we could see and also allowed us time to take... more

Each time has been different - size of basket, area viewed, time in the air - but never disappointing. You would generally expect to be in... more

Book it directly at one of the travel agencies next to the old winter palace; you will need to bargain a bit but it will lliterally cost you half or even a third (we paid 250 Egyption pound pp, whereas our hotel asked 95EUR pp!... more

I would just like to say what a fantastic experience my boyfriend and I had with this company. We did many excursions and this excelled above others for the professionalism of all the staff and the company. There was no other alternative motive (ie selling you something) other than giving you an unforgettable experience!!! The Pilot was obviously exceptionally skilled... more

We found a big difference between quoted balloon prices from normal Tour agents, and the price you can negotiate ‘on the ground’ yourself. We travelled (January 2009) in an Alaska Balloon (not a Hod Hod Suliman one) and had a great and very safe flight with a landing so smooth we honestly could not feel it. They collected us exactly... more
