Photograph taken at sunrise from a hot air balloon over the west bank of the Nile, Luxor, Egypt. Amongst the sites visible from the balloon are the Temple of Hatshepsut, Colossi of Memnon and Ramesseum. This trip was definitely one of the highlights of the holiday and I would highly recommend anyone visiting the Luxor area to book. We booked the trip through the Cruise operators for about £70 per person but other people we met organised the trip by themselves and as long as you can get enough people you can get it for about £30.
