Itinerates

Greet the day with this early morning sunrise balloon ride over Luxor, high above. Early morning pickup from your hotel or cruise ship will bring you to the launch site on the west bank of the Nile River. Meet here your pilot with years of flying experience and his ground crew while light preflight snack and refreshing drinks are served.

After a detailed safety briefing, you'll step into the secure balloon basket with your pilot and just a few other fellow passengers. The brilliant balloon fills up with colors as it rises into the still dark sky, filling you with bursts of excitement during this 30-to 45-minute flight. Witness breathtaking views of the rising sun over the east bank of the Nile River during this aerial spectacle.


These unforgettable scenes, which the light projects upon magnificent mountains and structures of Luxor, must be kept on film. Note the pillars of the Karnak Temple, saluting the rising morning sun toward the east. Then, shift west to the Queen Hatshepsut's Temple, bathed in the radiance of the dawn. Marvel at the rising-from-the-adjacent-fields Colossi of Memnon and a little further on, get a breathtaking view of the Valley of the Queens in the slate mountains.

Provided that the winds allow it, you will fly over the Ramesseum with its great mortuary temple belonging to Pharaoh Ramses II, looking down on its pylons, statues, and courtyards.

During the flight, a ground support van with a crew will chase your balloon and stand by to assist upon landing. Afterwards, you'll be presented with a personal flight certificate and a special souvenir before you drive back to Luxor. Finally, you will be dropped at your hotel or ship in time for breakfast and any morning tour departures that may be scheduled.

The budget for a trip can vary greatly depending on the destination, duration, accommodation choices, activities, and personal preferences. Researching average costs, including accommodation, transportation, meals, and attractions, will help you estimate your budget more accurately.

The essential travel documents usually include a valid passport, visas (if required), airline tickets, hotel reservations, travel insurance, and any necessary identification cards. It's always a good idea to make copies of these documents and store them separately as a backup.

Egypt is famous for its ancient historical sites. Some of the must-visit attractions include the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, Luxor Temple, Karnak Temple, Valley of the Kings, Abu Simbel, and the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

The best time to visit Egypt is during the cooler months of October to April when temperatures are more comfortable for exploring the historical sites. However, if you're interested in diving in the Red Sea, the summer months offer warm waters and excellent visibility.

When visiting religious sites such as mosques or temples, it's important to dress modestly out of respect. Both men and women should have their shoulders and knees covered. It's also advisable for women to carry a scarf to cover their hair if needed.

The best months to enjoy the Middle East tours are generally April and May, or October and November, however this can vary depending on where you're traveling and what you want to do. Temperatures are normally pleasant rather than extremely hot during certain hours, though crowds may be strong at some attractions.

The most prevalent mode of transportation is by bus. In the absence of this, you'll typically find shared taxis or tourist buses running routes to major sights (such as Petra in Jordan). While flying is the shortest way to travel between Middle Eastern destinations.

If you wish to take a big tour of the Middle East, you should plan at least a 10-day itinerary of Middle East Packages to allow ample time in each country. You may also need to allow extra time to go from one location to another due to security and border crossings between countries.
