Itinerary
- 1Kick start this exhilarating tour with a convenient pickup by your Egyptologist tour guide from your hotel in Cairo in an air-conditioned vehicle. Get to know more about the history of Egypt in this 4-hour tour that takes you to the Great Pyramids, the Valley Temple of the Pyramids of Chephren, and the Boat Museum. Head over to the Great Pyramids, a renowned destination and one among the Seven Wonders of the World. Visit the Great Pyramids from the inside (if this option is selected). Continue the tour with a panoramic view of the Pyramids of Giza: the Pyramids Cheops, Chephren, and Menkaure. You'll also get to see the impressive Sphinx of Giza, truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Don’t forget to take as many photos as you can of these amazing structures. Next, you’ll visit the Valley Temple of the Pyramids of Chephren, which was used for the mummification process and the purification of Kings before burial. Finally, head to the Solar Boat Museum that is next to the pyramid of Cheops. See solar boats crafted with cedarwood and known to have been used for religious rituals during the period of the pharaohs. As the tour comes to an end, you’ll be dropped back at your hotel.

- marcelrss0 contributionsAmazing experienceI had the most incredible experience with Sheba Tours! The balloon ride tour turned out to be absolutely amazing. Not only did I get to enjoy the breathtaking views, but the after party was off the charts! It was filled with energetic people, fantastic food, and incredible dancing. I highly recommend Sheba Tours for an unforgettable experience.Written 20 August 2024
- Q1166BOandreag0 contributionsGreat experienceMirna was very helpful, good communication with the company. Everything was very organized and the ballon ride was spectacular!!!!! ThanksWritten 19 June 2024
- Ruxx14thar0 contributionsHot air balloon ride in LuxorThe ride was fun but be ready because it’s gonna be extremely hot while the balloon is ascending. We were second to the last balloon to fly that’s why we didn’t get a chance to have a beautiful pictures together with the other balloons. The experience was great though.Written 30 May 2024
- GoPlaces286613062110 contributionsHot air balloon - made awesomeWe had our first hot balloon ride with Sheba tours.. They were the best providers given that the pilot took us to 2000 feet height after taking an extra approval from ATC. Groundstaff is also friendly and reached in time to pick us up. I would recommend Sheba to for your ve adventurous ridesWritten 28 May 2024
- joetG3501SL0 contributionsHot air balloon rideWe had booked the hot air balloon hoping for sunrise tour, there was only one timing option and it seemed to coincide with sunrise. The day before we asked if they could make sure it could be sunrise as ww saw comments of people saying they missed it etc. however they replied saying we have not chosen the correct one and it was more expensive VIP for the sunrise, we didnt bother and just proceeded with what we had. On the day of the hot air balloon they advised us to be ready for 5.45 which we were and 7 other people. We had waited until 7.30 and still not to be taken to the hot air balloon and no update, we had to chase ourselves. It was only when the driver was on his way we were told to be ready. Apart from that, the hot air balloon was amazing and our pilot was very good. The boys who helped the hot air balloon down were fantastic and couldnt thank them enough.Written 20 May 2024
- leratoc50 contributionsHot Air Balloon ExperienceThe tour was amazing… more than what I expected. The organizers communicate updates constantly regarding the tour. The surprise breakfast was a perfect way to end the tour. If you want something quick, fun, and easy on the pocket, I recommend this tour.Written 20 May 2024
- Ben F0 contributionsRomanticThe views were really amazing and the pilot was very friendly and talked to everyone the whole time and even pointed out a lot of the sights. I went with my fiancée and it was a very romantic time watching the sunrise and looking at all the views. We were a bit nervous at the beginning but once we were going up it was so smooth and we calmed completely. Mirna was very helpful and upgraded us to try sunrise balloon ride (1st ride) One thing to take note on though is they require “passport” pictures. I would talk to them about this directly. Don’t let it stop you from booking as it’s an amazing experience.Written 10 May 2024
- salman-ali-tuktuk0 contributionsPerfect start of the day(Mirna & Asma). I joined the group to experience the hot air balloon flight in Luxor and it was great. Be aware that sometimes the flight can be cancelled (even last minute), because of the weather, but this time I was lucky enough to fly. It was magical, thanks to the coordinator Mirna (the communication over Whatsapp was perfect) and our guide/coordinator during the day Asma who also offered us breakfast and a dance show after the flight. The perfect start of a day. 100% recommended. Thanks to all.Written 7 May 2024

- Wrightsinteriors0 contributionsExcellent balloon tripBooked this tour a few days before arriving in Luxor. Excellent value for money and amazing service from Sheba tours. Contact from Sheba was second to none keeping us informed about collection and schedule for the day. Upgraded to first balloon ride out. Well worth the very early morning start. All the staff were amazing. Excellent experience from start to finish. Highly recommend Sheba tours xxxxWritten 26 April 2024

Everything worked fine. We were two. The guide spoke very good English and was very nice. In general, we got along great with the whole group and felt a bit safer in the crowd. Can recommend it to anyone who is on holiday in Egypt
