Quick answer: Luxor in One Day: Hot Air Balloon, Valley of the Kings, Felucca and Camel Ride lasts Full day in Luxor, from $135.00 per person, with a licensed guide and hotel pick-up.
Overview
A private day that packs Luxor's highlights and its best experiences together. You start before dawn with tea and cake, fly for about 45 minutes over the West Bank and receive a flight certificate.
An Egyptologist then guides you through the Valley of the Kings, including Tutankhamun's tomb, and the Temple of Hatshepsut, with a photo stop at the Colossi of Memnon. The afternoon is on the river and in town: a felucca with a typical Egyptian lunch to Banana Island, a camel ride and village visit, and a horse carriage through the souq. The day ends at about 4 pm.
Children under 6 cannot fly in the balloon. If the balloon is cancelled by the weather, $40 per person is refunded.
The price per person depends on how many people travel together, and children get reduced rates: see Prices by group size below.
