Ramadan & the team from Hod Hod Soliman hot air balloons made our trip unbelievebly amazing! They were so kind and kept us informed when we arrived into Luxor. In the air, Captain Omar described the sights and how hot air ballooning works. I would highly recommend booking with Ramadan @ Hod Hod Soliman!

Tutto incluso: le solite corse in autobus, l'attraversamento del Nilo in barca e un fantastico evento in cielo. I palloncini si disperdono a seconda dell'altitudine di volo. Gli anziani sono stati aiutati in modo esemplare. In ogni caso, devi fare questo tour, anche se è iniziato alle 03:30 dall'hotel

Omar was an excellent pilot, keeping us below 400 m so that we could linger over the West Bank’s many sites. The basket holds up to 32 (we had a more reasonable 22) and people were very helpful and kind - assisting one another with pictures and taking turns at the edge of the basket. The balloon was safe and well flown with the gentlest landing I’ve ever experienced in a balloon. As for the process: they pick you up at your East Bank hotel, drive to a Nile dock where you are offered tea on board a boat. You wait for the other guests to arrive (5-45 minutes) before casting off and crossing the Nile to another van, which takes you to the launch site (10-15 minute drive). A stunning 45 balloons went up within an hour or so of sunrise on our day, and the launch field is chaotic to say the least. Hod Hod Soliman’s guides and drivers were thoughtful and efficient, Omar was a safe and excellent pilot, and we enjoyed our experience very much.
