Sunrise Balloon Ride and Private Luxor West Bank Tour

Two ways to see Thebes in one morning: first from the air, then with your feet in the dust. The day opens with a sunrise balloon flight over the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens, high enough to read the whole west bank at once, something no ground-level visit can do. After landing, the private tour begins. An English-speaking guide walks you through the pharaohs' tombs in the Valley of the Kings, then on to the Mortuary Temple of Queen Hatshepsut at El Deir El Bahari, and finishes at the Colossi of Memnon, the two seated giants where the tour stops for photos. Seeing the sites from above first changes how you walk them afterwards. You already know how the valleys connect, and the guide fills in what the view could not.
