          Sindbad, the bad is in the name
          The trip was not well organised at all, we were waiting in the van for an hour with no explanation for why. Eventually we got some information after we had to ask, the driver and the crew were not communicative or helpful at all. We were then rushed to the balloon without even being able to read the safety instructions properly. Oh, and they charged us around $100 more than everyone else on our balloon. When we told the guide that we were going to pay what everyone else paid, the guide lied to us and insisted people paid more. The actual flight was beautiful, would not recommend to do it with this company!!! Very untrustworthy!!!

          Amazing 🤩
          Guides: The tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate. They shared fascinating stories, local insights, and historical details that made the experience so enriching. Destinations: Each stop was breathtaking. [Mention specific locations, e.g., "The panoramic views of the mountains were stunning, and the serene boat ride on the lake was so peaceful."]

          Great pilot, amazing views.
          Excelente! Great view of the Valley of the Kings, Nile River and several temples in Luxor. Pilot was very good and gave us amazing views. We were the first balloon to take off and landed close to the road for quick exit.

          Sunrise ballon
          I had an incredible sunrise balloon experience that I’ll never forget. Watching the sun rise over the stunning landscape from the basket of a hot air balloon was absolutely magical. The views were breathtaking, and the peacefulness of floating high above the ground was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Our guide, Ahmed Alaa, was fantastic. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and ensured everything went smoothly, making the journey even more enjoyable. Ahmed’s expertise and welcoming attitude really stood out, and I felt completely safe throughout the entire adventure. I highly recommend this experience to anyone seeking unforgettable memories!

          Don't miss if in Luxor
          Must try if you're in Luxor. In the morning we were greeted by the very kind A. nagdy on time, who stayed with us from pick up till drop. We were picked up on time. We felt very welcomed. The instructions were properly given and A.nagdy's presence was very reassuring. He not only helped us with balancing the balloon and getting on, he also told us not to worry because the car will follow us when we get down and he'll be there for us which he was. The balloon ride, sure is excellent, but a good guide through the ride makes the experience from good to great! There was so much kindness and warmth for us throughout , it made our day. Thank you so much! If you're going with Sinbad, I highly recommend you specifically ask for A.nagdy because of how safe and comfortable he'll make you feel. When some balloons had started going up and ours hadn't, I was worried that we'll miss the sunrise but A.nagdy assured me we wouldn't. And we didn't! The take off and the landing were really smooth. There is not one thing that went wrong with the experience. It was an 11/10! Must must try in Luxor.

          Amazing views and top organisation
          I’ve booked this trip with my wife when we were in Luxor. The next early morning we have done the trip. The views were magnificent and the whole operation behind this company is very smooth and impressive. We would recommend everyone to do a hot air balloon trip, and this company has impressed us!

          Hot air balloon experience with Sindbad Balloons Co.
          The experience was once in a lifetime a d definitely worth the wait! We were well taken care of Smiki the entire journey. Our pilot, Mostafa, was brilliant and on top of piloting the hot air balloon with ease and expertise, he peppered the journey with bits of information of the historical sights we flew on top of. A must-do when in Luxor!!!

        Actually, a balloon ride wasn't on our agenda. But when we saw the balloons in the sky on the trip to Hatsehsput Temple, we decided to do the same.
        We booked directly in the office of Hot Air Balloon and did so a lot cheaper than when again the about the tour guide on the river cruise ship.
        Pick up, briefing worked perfectly.
        Almost simultaneously, over 50 balloons rose, a great experience. And then the view over archaeological sites to the Valley of the Kings ! The sunrise was the next highlight.
        After about 45 minutes (duration may vary) we landed well again and had a big grin on our face all day.
        Thanks to Boghdady for the smooth handling !

        Unmissable experience with a great company. Very well organised from hotel pick-up, ferry transfer across the Nile to the West Bank, travel to launch site, balloon flight and return to hotel in time for breakfast. Early hotel pick-up 4:30 am so you get to the balloon for take off in time to see the sunrise over the Nile, surrounded by many other balloons which is a spectacular sight. Very experienced Balloon Pilot Captain Khaled who we have flown with before (ask for him if you can when booking). Check weather forecast to make sure its not too windy as they can't take off if its too bad. Doesn't happen often, but best to book a day earlier in your schedule just in case they have to cancel and re-schedule. We were lucky this year as the day after our flight it was too windy and all flights cancelled for several days! It's a great once in a lifetime experience (even if you're a little scared of heights!) as you feel completely safe at all times.

        *5/5 Excellent*

        I had the thrill of a lifetime today, taking a hot air balloon ride with Sindbad Company in Luxor, Egypt! The experience was truly fantastic, and I highly recommend it to every visitor.

        The entire experience was seamless, from the initial booking to the post-flight celebration. Our coordinator, Mr. Smiky, was exceptional in his support and friendly service. He ensured that we were well-prepared for the flight and provided us with all the necessary information.

        Our balloon pilot, Mr. Husian, was outstanding in his navigation of the balloon. He ensured the safety of all passengers, especially families and kids, and provided us with breathtaking views of the Nile River and the surrounding landscape.

        The flight itself was incredibly smooth

        An amazing experience in the hot air balloon. The logistics were impeccable, everything very well organized, which made us enjoy every moment to the fullest. Captain Karym was excellent, giving us a safe and very entertaining trip, and Ahmed Alaa, the organizer, made sure everything flowed perfectly. Highly recommended for those seeking a unique and well-managed experience.
