Luxor Hot Balloon: It needs to start at 4 a.m. to get to the take-off point before the sun rises. First, at the gathering place of the hot-air balloon company, enjoy their breakfast and wait for them to inflate the balloon. Balloons slowly bulge up in the darkness, then stand tall, and then we stand in groups of four people in the basket, divided into four groups, waiting for launch. At daybreak, we take off with the balloon, and below is the Valley of the Emperor. It is totally different from the Valley of the Emperor seen in the daytime. It overlooks the whole Valley of the Emperor. The Mausoleum of the great ancestors can not walk in the daytime. Now it looks so faint.

    This was by far the highlight of my trip to Egypt. Seeing the Sunrise and Temples from above are just amazing! If you are in Egypt this activity is definitely a must!

    Experienced a hot air balloon project in Luxor, it was really exciting, and the scenery was beautiful. Sitting on the hot air balloon and watching the surrounding scenery, it can really be described as refreshing.

    It is said that Egypt's hot air balloon is the cheapest in the world! Before I went, I was worried about safety and checked the accident rate here. It seemed to be lower than Turkey, so I sat at ease! Egyptians often said: "Without Luxor, it is not considered Egypt". This ancient Egyptian capital, built in the 14th century BC, stands on the site of Thebes, the birthplace of ancient Egyptian civilization. The temple of Luxor on the banks of the Nile is numerous, is the world's largest open-air museum, with the reputation of "the city of palaces". The wind blows up dry sand, and the air smells like thousands of years ago. Set off before dawn, enjoy the sunrise view of the Valley of the Emperors on a hot air balloon, and the entire Thebes remains are at your feet, feeling the strong ancient Egyptian atmosphere in the air, while satisfying the sky and the yearning for history, there is no more wonderful way to start a new day.

    We started at 4:30 a.m. that day, because we had a late night the previous night, so everyone was a little tired. It's said that it will take more than half an hour. Everyone wants to close their eyes and have a rest. I don't know who suddenly found an armored car following us and lost sleep. Only when asked, did we know that they had protected us from coming. Everyone was grateful to them, and they really felt relieved. Before I knew it, I arrived at my destination. Speaking of hot air balloons, I want to go many times. In Thailand there is a problem with the wind direction, in Australia there is heavy rain, and no trip. That's great. There's nothing wrong with it. The captain waited until everyone was seated and began to take off. Spacecraft slowly ascended, higher and higher, what Valley of Kings, Valley of Queens, Nile, Queen's Palace __________ All at our feet. Everyone is so happy that when they come, they are tired and don't know where they are going. In about fifty minutes, we began to fall. This is really a meaningful experience in life, in addition to satisfaction, or satisfaction!

    Start at 3 a.m. to take a hot-air balloon and cross the Nile with a group of people from Mexico, Spain and Colombia by boat. Wait for the ignition and rise together to greet the sunrise on the hot-air balloon.My Dream Has Last Come True!!!

    Riding a hot-air balloon is also a hard work. On July 24, the grandparents and grandchildren got up at 2:15 a.m. and embarked from the lodging cruise ship to take a minibus, sailboat and minibus to the starting point of the Valley of Emperors on the West Bank of the Nile River. They were waiting to board the hot-air balloon in pitch darkness. Surprise began to pour into my heart from the slow opening of hot balloons in the darkness and colorful colors. With the sounds of spacing and burning, a number of hot balloons with different designs shined brightly in the valley and rose slowly. With the help of the staff, 22 tourists jumped into the four zones of the passenger basket and began to fly off the ground. Hot-air balloon ride in Egypt, you can see the sunrise on the Nile River, the idyllic scenery on both sides of the river, and overlook the ruins of the Emperor's Valley. Hot-air balloon driver Mohammed clearly points out the statue of Mennong and the temple of Hatshesopt that we are going to visit next. Morning dew on the Eastern Bank of the Nile River, Golden Dawn sprinkles the sky, the world gradually wakes up, the ears of livestock call, lovely local children run up to the roof to wave to us say hello, Valley of Kings, with its thousands of years of silence to greet another vibrant dawn. After about an hour and a half of flight, the hot air balloon landed slowly. The driver invited everyone to raise their cameras and take pictures of the flowers on the top of the balloon.

    The bird of the hot air balloon The weather was good today, and the captain flew more than 500 meters to give a bird's eye view of the entire Luxor West Bank scenic spot: the Valley of the Emperors, the Queen's Temple and the statue of the Door. After floating in the air for 40 minutes, it was almost time to see the scenery and the balloon began to land. Unlike the imagination, the hot air balloon landed not in the open hard open space like the take-off site, but across the roof of the hometown, directly fell to the farmland below. At this time, it was discovered that a seven or eight-meter-wide field road in the farmland was the landing site. Throwing sandbags, throwing ropes, and with the assistance of a tractor, the balloon stopped steadily. 6⃣ is the technically skilled "captain" 7⃣ is the old man who came up to sell as soon as he landed 8⃣ As long as the captain controls it alone, there are ten people involved in the after-care and pay tribute to their silence. I got a certificate as I wished, and I got a mixed news: after our two batches took off, due to the weather, the next batches were temporarily cancelled. We successfully lifted off, the wind was right, very smooth, saw the sunrise, the sunrise was brilliant. Luck is so good!
