Luxor Overnight from Cairo with Sunrise Balloon Flight

Two days and one night in Luxor from Cairo by air: Karnak and Luxor Temple, a sunrise balloon flight and the Valley of the Kings.

2 Days / 1 NightCairo to Luxor and back by airMost days, subject to flight times

Why stay a night instead of a day trip?

One night in Luxor adds the things a day trip has to skip: Luxor Temple lit up in the evening, and a sunrise balloon over the West Bank before the tombs.

How does the timing work?

Morning flight from Cairo, Karnak in the afternoon and Luxor Temple in the evening. Next day, the balloon at dawn, then the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon before the flight back.

Is the balloon guaranteed?

No. It only flies when the authorities allow it on the morning. The rebooking or refund terms are set out in your quote.
