Where can I watch Luxor?
- Karnak Temple Complex. Karnak Temple is the second largest temple complex in the world (Angkor Wat in Cambodia is the largest). For over 2,000 years, starting in 2000 BCE, temples, monuments, and buildings were added to the complex.
- Luxor Temple. Luxor Temple looks and feels like a smaller version of Karnak Temple, although this temple served a different purpose than many found in and around Luxor.
- Luxor Museum. This museum opened in 1975 and it contains artifacts that were found in the Luxor area, as well as artifacts from the tomb of King Tutankhamun.
- Mummification Museum. This is a small, somewhat interesting museum about the mummification process. Not only can you see mummified people but there are also mummified cats, birds, and crocodiles.

YES, YES and YES!!!! I’ve been to 58 countries and have experienced some of the coolest things you could imagine, from skydiving to scuba diving to volcano climbing and whatnot. This balloon ride was one of the Top 3 experiences of my life. I’m usually an adrenaline junkie and parasailing e.g. bores me, but this was just WOW!!! It’s an incredibly p...
So you’ve heard about the balloon crash in Luxor years ago and now you’re worried whether the balloon ride is even safe?! I get it. In foreign countries, especially not so much developed ones as Egypt, the question of safety has to come up. There’s no denying, there have been a handful of accidents over the last decades. Since then, the Egyptian go...
I wrote an extensive article on the Best Times To Visit Egyptand have included the best time to travel to Luxor/do a Nile Cruise, so check that one out for more information. In short: Avoid the summer months like the plague as it gets insanely hot. The best time to go hot air ballooning in Luxor is from October to March. I went in October and we we...
Prices vary greatly and depend on a few different factors such as the season and where you buy your tickets from. The balloon ride prices rise during peak seasons. It’s especially busy during the holiday weeks for Europeans, as this is where most tourists are flying in from. Prices are therefore quickly increasing in October, December, and Apriland...
1. Go ballooning the first day you arrive
Whether or not the hot air balloons can go in the air depends on the weather conditions. Though they fly more often than not, there is a chance that you might not be able to do the trip on the day you wish. I highly recommend, therefore, that you book a ticket for the very first day you arrive in Luxor. That way, if weather conditions make it impossible to go that day, you can still go do it the next day (if the weather has improved). Don’t worry too much about it, most of the time they do fl...
2. Dress in Layers
Since all the hot air balloon rides in Luxor take place around sunrise, it’s still a bit cooler than in the daytime. I went in October and was picked up at 4:30 am, but that time changes depending on what time of the year you go. Also, temperatures go down because you’ll be at a much higher altitude. That was my thought process – I freeze easily so I always try to dress warmly. And it was good I did, the AC was cranked up in the minivan on the way to the “balloon airport” and it was chilly on...
3. Smile for the camera!
Nowadays, everyone has a smartphone with a camera and you will surely take a lot of photos. If you bring a DSLR ( any bigger camera), they will tell you not to use it before takeoff. Once you’re in the air, you can do whatever you want. The reason is mostly that they want to sell you the video they’re taking of your group. And that’s why I’m telling you you should smile 😉 From the moment you get on the boat in the morning to cross the river and get to the balloon airport until you took off,...
Finishing up, I just want to say again that hot air ballooning in Luxor is a total bucket list experience that you really shouldn’t miss! I loved it so, so much, and I don’t easily get excited. Even my friend who had already canceled in her mind and was so afraid said that she would have regretted it so badly if she hadn’t gone and it was such an a...
2020. CATALOG NUMBER. S113.8. Complete Video Script. The Luxor Temple is particularly dramatic at twilight. Standing in the middle of the city, it's evocatively floodlit and welcomes visitors in the evening. The towering front wall proclaims the power and greatness of the pharaohs. This grand entry was marked with a pair of soaring obelisks.
