Day 2: Hot Air Balloon and West Bank

  • Balloon ride: start your day with a thrilling hot air balloon ride for a panoramic view of Luxor from the sky at sunrise.

    The cruise was great, I was very surprised by the quality of everything and the atmosphere there. The only thing that didn't quite convince me was the folklore show, but otherwise nothing to criticise.

    It was four days of exploration and a lot of learning. I have never had such a high quality experience during my holiday, everything felt amazing on this cruise. Highly recommended.
