Price for the experience was quiet worth it. It was not as scary as many says. Kids and us have a pleasant experience when we were up there where so many Balloon came up togethr

Wow! An amazing experience. I was really nervous once everything started, but it was so smooth and beautiful that all nerves were forgotten within 30 seconds! We had to wait a bit for permission from the airport, but it was worth it. And the cheer that went up once clearance was given- you could feel the joy! Definitely would recommend to do this

BEWARE - BEWARE - BEWARE - 3 of us had our money STOLEN. At the last minute in complete chaos we were made to put our small bags in the van and promised it was locked and safe. They wouldn't give us the time to grab our money/personal belongings out of our bags. When we approached the owner about our missing money, they were not shocked. Which makes us aware that this happens often with this company. We have communicated with the company and given them the opportunity to make it right and their solution is to file a fraudulent insurance claim. The 3 of us were not traveling together, we were traveling with a travel group and did not know each other before meeting in Egypt. If you want a smooth ride and polished landing, I highly recommend booking with a different company.

Amazing experience! Our first time balloon ride and it was perfect. A beautiful day to do balloon ride. Magnificent sunrise. Awesome take-off and perfect landing. I am so grateful to Omar our pilot and his entire crew for a very memorable experience. The pictures and videos (for extra cost) was great!

One of the most beautiful experiences I've had. We were in the air for about an hour. Flew over Valley of the Kings & Queens. Watching the balloons rise from the ground is truly magical.

We had a great sunrise flight with Ragab as our pilot. We felt safe in the air and the views were spectacular. Some of the logistics were a bit chaotic but there was a system and it worked. Great landing and a bucket list item ticked off. Recommend.

Abdo gave us an excellent ride in perfect conditions. This was the highlight of our 3 week journey around Egypt. Highly recommend! Communication before and during booking was excellent and the whole experience went smooth. Paid 90USD for first basket (first launch of the day), this was between Christmas and new years.
