The company was really organised, picked up us on time and transferred us quickly to the balloon. The pilot was great and we felt completely safe at all times. It was stunning balloon ride and a beautiful way to start the day. I would have given them a five star rating but...
When we arrived, the manager/owner told us that...

My wife and me went to Egypt on our honeymoon, and one of our wishes were, to fly on a hot air baloon. We fly with Sindbad, and everything was great, since the first moment, when the Captain himself (Cpt. Mahmoud), picked us up at the cruise, until the way back to the cruise.
They take care of all of...

We rode on Sindbad balloon 1-week prior to the crash - which was not operated by Sindbad. We had a fantastic time. The views were breathtaking and our balloon operator and staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. I am afraid of heights and this did not bother me at all. This was a highlight of our trip to Egypt and...

We felt very safe with Sindbad and our pilot instructed us to stay in the basket until it was safe to exit....

Our hot-air balloon ride with Sindbad in Luxor was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Egypt. Floating over the Nile Valley, Valley of the Kings, Queen Hapshepsut Temple, and unending acres of beautiful green fields was simply magic. We were saddened by the accident in the area a week later, but wish Sindbad all the best in...
