          Sky high odyssey above the Nile
          A hot air balloon ride over the Nile in Luxor is one of those sublime experiences that etches into your memory and refuses to fade away. I boarded the balloon in the wee hours of the morning, with the sky yet to unveil the full array of dawn colours. The early morning wake-up call was momentarily a struggle but soon revealed itself to be the price of admission to a scene so surreal. With the great thanks to Khlaed we made it safely from hotel, road, boat and road again to the site for launch. Under the able command of Captain Omar and Captain Abdul, we ascended smoothly into the awakening skies, each rising meter unveiling a wider canvas of the Nile’s scenic beauty juxtaposed against the historical grandeur of Luxor. The river meandered lazily below, a silver ribbon through the heart of ancient civilization, while the temples and tombs seemed to greet the new day from their millennia-long slumber. Our balloon danced in the gentle morning breezes, and as we soared over the breathtaking landscape, it was a meditation in motion. The vast open skies, the rhythmic dance of the Nile, and the stoic grandeur of Luxor’s ancient edifices created a tableau so serene yet evocative. On touching down, Ragab, our dedicated person, orchestrated a smooth transition from the landing site. The ground crew was a well-oiled machine, reflective of the monumental effort and seamless coordination that goes behind making each morning’s ride a remarkable adventure. It was heartening to see the camaraderie and precise choreography among the crew, ensuring our safety and comfort were never compromised. The big operation involved a lot of people, each playing a crucial role in making the morning not just an aerial excursion, but a journey through time. The professionalism and warmth of the crew added a comforting touch to the whole experience, making the descent back to reality a gentle one. This isn’t just a hot air balloon ride; it’s a poetic voyage that allows you to transcend the ordinary and touch the mystique that is Egypt. It’s an escapade we highly recommend for the spellbinding views, the professional crew, and the serene yet exhilarating voyage that makes you part of the ancient narrative, even if for a transient moment.

          I couldn't be more grateful for Omar's help in organizing the trip in a very short time, who took care of every detail of our trip.The balloons start lifting off at sun rise and by the time we were in the air, the sky was filled with many of balloons! It was an amazing experience that become an unforgettable adventure!The view is breathtaking and the thrill is surreal! If anyone visits Egypt, going to Luxor and taking the hot air balloon ride is an absolute must!

        It's been an absolute thrill! My ride was led by Captain Omar who did a great job describing views and important sites. I liked everything
        I must say that both Mr Rajab and Mr Abdo were so cooperative, asking several times if we were comfortable or if we needed anything throughout the trip :)
        I enjoyed everything, starting from inflating the balloon, the balloon slow rising and moment of sunrise.
        I highly recommend taking this trip and enjoying the morning breeze and the captivating views.

        So glad that we decided to take this excursion, even thought it meant getting up VERY early. From our river cruise ship, we took shuttle vans to the Nile, most ride across the Nile, another shuttle van to the launch site. Each balloon has a large basket that holds up to 32 people (8 compartments, up to 4 people each). Sections keep the basket balanced; the pilot did an excellent job of turning the balloon for every important site so everyone could get a view. Hardest part was getting in the basket (do not expect a little door to open so you can walk in) with the foot holes to climb over the side. When I struggled, two crew members simply lifted me into the basket! And it was only slightly embarrassing.

        But oh, so worth it! Beautiful views and timed perfectly to watch the sunrise over the Nile. We were in the air (up to approx 700 feet) for an hour then landed in a harvested sugar cane field. The local farmer watched very closely to make sure no one trampled his adjacent crops. Take some bills to tip crew and ground helpers. We also purchased a video of the trip, delivered to our ship later in the day.

        This was my first time on a hot air balloon ride and I felt very safe. Takeoff and landing were both really smooth and being up in the air seeing the sun come up is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Don't let the early wake up time scare you, this experience is worth it.

        I can only recommend this experience. A wonderful sunrise, a peacefull silence, a unique landscape overflown by poetic floating balloons. It really was breathtaking.
        And the excellent service on earth perfected the tour, from the pick-up to the return. I particularly thank our guide Rajab who was really nice, smiling and welcoming.

        Imagination is beyond imagination Early in the morning at 5 o’clock, the guide Ramadan came to us. He took us and told us everything about the balloon. We reached a small boat in the river and drank a little tea and coffee. My husband could not walk but Ramadan helped him and the pilot bakr as he had already described Ramadan. He is a skilled pilot and one of the best pilots, but we are a master. We found the best. He explained to us all the tourist attractions and watched the sunrise. The flight time was an hour, unlike other companies. I noticed that everyone takes about 35 minutes and we landed smoothly, landing Egypt I recommend this company, it is the best ever, and this was the sixth experience with this company. It is really a great company Thank you,Hodhod sliomon

        We had a great time on our hot air balloon ride over Luxor. Our guide, Ragab, picked us up at the hotel, took us to a boat to cross the Nile, and then took us to the balloon on the other side; then he did the reverse afterward, making the whole experience very seamless for us. Our captain, Ali, not only timed the sunrise perfectly — in contrast to many of the other balloons we saw — but also managed a perfectly smooth landing. If you’re in Luxor, you should definitely take a balloon ride, and among the many options, I would highly recommend this company.

        Booked by our tour company Jessi Insight Tours & Travel (recommend her for helping book/organize anything you need all over Egypt). They were prompt, knew our names, kept us informed. Clear, easy to understand instructions. Pilot, drivers, ground crew, helpers etc were all great.

        For the people on Trip Advisor giving bad reviews I’m surprised as all of it was explained to us and/or we did simple research ahead of time. Ex: if the wind isn’t quite right you can’t fly (too much or too little), they need permission to take off. No issue for us. And of course you go where the wind takes you. Baskets were at half capacity due to social distancing. Which meant we had a portion to ourselves (rectangle baskets, not round).

        Great time to go right now as you have lots of space to yourself and the tour companies are seeing reduced tourists, so great to support them!

        Also we happened to land in a field near residential and it was a holiday here. So the kids that were out of school ran to the basket, I wish I brought a bunch of 5LE to give each of the kids. If you do though, give money to the guides to give to the kids or you will be swarmed lol cute kids and smart. They know the tourists have money and aren’t shy to ask. I know some people didn’t like that, but they’re sweet kids and a small gesture would make them happy.

        A must do at Luxor! We did a lot of research and we are so happy that we chose Hodod. They are definitely the best! They care about safety and are very organised. Fawzy was our guide and was very professional and friendly making sure everyone is clear about the instructions and everyone is enjoying. Bakr was our pilot and was so much fun and did a great landing. He rotated with the balloon making sure everyone can see all the sight seeing and the sunrise. We highly recommend them.

        We chose HudHud for our hot air balloon ride due to their stellar safety record and it was 100% worth it! Our pilot Abu Bakr was very professional and has a ton of experience, the best choice for hot air ballooning in Egypt! We were the first to take off in the morning and the last to land and had an amazing and long hot air balloon ride over Luxor - truly magical and spectacular. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour and I found it especially helpful to see everything from an aerial view before exploring these sites individually in Luxor. Do not skip out on this experience, it is worth waking up for and watching the sun rise!
