Sunrise Balloon Flight over the Valley of the Kings
For those of you who like to combine a sense of adventure with a nose for history and an eye for detail, a trip in a hot-air balloon over one of Egypt’s most evocative sites will take some beating. The Valley of the Kings, on the west bank of the Nile opposite the town of Luxor, is a treasure trove in itself. Viewed from the air, against an early-morning horizon of pink and orange, it takes on even more enchanting qualities.
You and your companions will soon forget about the dawn start when you take in the awe-inspiring Temple of Hatshepshut, carved from the rockface, the Colossi of Memnon, and the intricate network of tombs which house the New Kingdom pharaohs, including Tutankhamun. Not only that, but stretching into the distance and providing a tantalising glimpse of infinity, is the Nile, the world’s longest river. An hour in the air will never be so rewarding. And it will be an hour that you will never want to end.
