Itinerary
Day 1: Karnak and Luxor Temple
We pick you up in the morning for the East Bank. Your guide takes you through Karnak, built and rebuilt from about 2055 BC to Roman times, and Luxor Temple. Lunch is at a Nile-view restaurant before we take you back.
Meals: Lunch.
Day 2: Balloon flight and the West Bank
A driver collects you before dawn and takes you to the Nile for a hot drink and a motorboat crossing to the West Bank. After a safety briefing you float over the temples and fields for about 45 minutes as the sun rises, and receive a flight certificate when you land. Your guide then shows you the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon, and you finish with lunch at a local restaurant.
