Imagine drifting silently above the Valley of the Kings as the first rays of sunrise light up the timeless landscape of Luxor. This private day trip from Soma Bay to Luxor with a hot air balloon ride offers you not just a journey, but a memory of a lifetime. Combining breathtaking aerial views, world-class archaeological sites, and the personal touch of a private Egyptologist guide, this tour delivers the ultimate Egyptian adventure.
Luxor, once known as Thebes, is often called the world’s greatest open-air museum. With its monumental temples, royal tombs, and ancient stories carved into stone, it offers a deep dive into the golden age of the Pharaohs. Traveling privately from Soma Bay allows you to experience it at your own pace — without rush, without crowds, and with the full attention of your professional guide.
This tour is designed for those who value comfort, exclusivity, and authenticity. Every step, from pickup to drop-off, is planned to create a smooth and stress-free experience.
Your adventure begins late at night, around 11:00 PM, when you’re picked up directly from your Soma Bay hotel in a modern, air-conditioned private vehicle. The comfortable overnight drive to Luxor allows you to rest before your extraordinary morning in the heart of ancient Egypt.
As dawn approaches, you’ll head to the balloon launch site on the West Bank. A light breakfast and safety briefing set the tone for what’s next — a 45–60-minute hot air balloon flight over the historical wonders of Luxor.
From high above, the landscape unfolds: the Nile River, the Temple of Hatshepsut, the Colossi of Memnon, and the Valley of the Kings glowing under the soft golden light of sunrise. It’s an ethereal experience that combines peace, wonder, and awe — one that leaves travelers speechless.
Note: For safety reasons, children under 5 years old are not permitted on the hot air balloon ride.
After your balloon adventure, the exploration continues on the ground — where the ancient stories of Egypt come to life.
This legendary necropolis is where Egypt’s pharaohs were laid to rest in elaborately decorated tombs. Step inside several tombs to admire colorful hieroglyphs and symbolic carvings that have survived for millennia. Each painting whispers tales of divine journeys, protection, and eternal life.
Dedicated to Queen Hatshepsut, Egypt’s most remarkable female pharaoh, this temple rises in terraces against the cliffs of Deir el-Bahari. The architecture is an astonishing blend of harmony and grandeur. As you walk through its colonnades, your guide will bring to life the story of a woman who ruled Egypt as a king and defied conventions.
Before crossing back to the East Bank, stop by the Colossi of Memnon — two towering statues that once guarded the temple of Amenhotep III. These 18-meter-high figures have stood watch over the Theban plains for over 3,000 years, their silent presence both haunting and majestic.
After a fulfilling morning, enjoy a freshly prepared Egyptian lunch at a local restaurant — an authentic experience that connects you with Luxor’s living culture. Savor traditional dishes such as grilled kofta, tahini salad, and freshly baked baladi bread.
The afternoon is reserved for one of the most magnificent religious sites in the world — Karnak Temple.
Once the spiritual heart of ancient Egypt, this vast complex features colossal statues, towering obelisks, and the famous Hypostyle Hall, with its 134 giant columns. Walking through Karnak is like stepping into a time capsule — every wall and pillar reveals secrets of pharaohs and gods.
