Luxor Two-Day Tour from Makadi Bay with Hot Air Balloon Ride

About this activity

If you’ve ever dreamed of floating above ancient temples as the sun paints the desert gold, this Luxor two-day tour from Makadi Bay with hot air balloon is your chance. Over two unforgettable days, you’ll explore Egypt’s greatest archaeological treasures, sail along the Nile, and witness the sunrise from the sky above Luxor — a view that few ever forget.

Day 1 – Journey to Luxor’s Timeless East Bank

Scenic Drive from Makadi Bay

Your adventure begins early in the morning with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel in Makadi Bay. Travel in a modern, air-conditioned car through the vast Eastern Desert, where the rising sun reveals a landscape that feels almost untouched by time.

Upon arriving in Luxor — once known as Thebes, the ancient capital of the pharaohs — you’ll meet your private Egyptologist guide who will accompany you through the city’s most magnificent temples.

Karnak Temple – The Grand Sanctuary of the Gods

Your first stop is the awe-inspiring Karnak Temple, the largest religious structure ever built. Walk beneath colossal stone columns and through avenues of ram-headed sphinxes. Feel history come alive as your guide reveals the stories of powerful pharaohs and sacred rituals that shaped the spiritual heart of ancient Egypt.

Luxor Temple – Where Pharaohs Became Divine

Next, explore the Luxor Temple, dramatically lit by the afternoon sun. Built by Amenhotep III and expanded by Ramses II, this temple was dedicated to Amun and played a key role in Egypt’s grand Opet Festival. As you stroll along the Avenue of Sphinxes, connecting Karnak and Luxor Temples, you’ll sense the timeless grandeur of this city of kings.

Nile Dinner & Overnight in Luxor

After a delicious lunch overlooking the Nile, you’ll check in to your 5-star hotel — a peaceful oasis after a day of discovery. In the evening, enjoy free time to wander Luxor’s bazaar or opt for an evening Sound & Light Show at Karnak Temple, where the pharaohs’ voices seem to echo through time.

Day 2 – Hot Air Balloon Ride & The Mysteries of the West Bank

Sunrise Balloon Over the Valley of the Kings

As dawn approaches, your driver will take you to the launch site for a breathtaking hot air balloon ride over Luxor. Rise gently into the sky as the first light of day bathes the desert and the Nile Valley below. From this unique perspective, you’ll see the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut’s Temple, and the Colossi of Memnon glowing beneath you — a moment of pure magic and serenity.

After landing, you’ll receive a commemorative flight certificate — a keepsake from one of the most memorable hours of your life.

Valley of the Kings – Tombs of Eternity

After breakfast, continue to the legendary Valley of the Kings, final resting place of Egypt’s greatest rulers. Step inside the beautifully decorated tombs of pharaohs like Ramses II and Thutmose III, where colorful hieroglyphs tell stories of the afterlife and eternal power.

Temple of Queen Hatshepsut – The Woman Who Ruled Egypt

Next, visit the breathtaking Temple of Hatshepsut, carved directly into the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. This masterpiece of ancient architecture was built for Egypt’s first female pharaoh — a symbol of determination, intelligence, and grace.

Colossi of Memnon – Giants of the Desert

Before lunch, stop at the Colossi of Memnon, two monumental statues that have stood guard over the Theban plain for more than 3,000 years. Their silent presence captures the majesty of Luxor’s golden age.

Enjoy a final lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the Nile before returning to Makadi Bay in comfort, carrying with you memories that will last a lifetime.
