The use of hot air balloons in Luxor began in the last quarter of the 20th century when companies offering the facility for aerial trips began offering the same. This was an activity that received a lot of attention because it was quite unique to take this kind of perspective to watch grand temples and monuments. These rides over the years have indeed turned out to be indispensable, where one flies majestically at the break of dawn that reveals such beautiful sight and a new way of looking at the past of the city.
You can join a local balloon club, like The Cascade Balloon Club, or volunteer as a chase crew member. Enthusiasts often start by assisting with flights and may earn training or flight time.
Learning to fly a hot air balloon involves gaining experience through training with an instructor, passing exams, and earning a license from the FAA. Many pilots start by working with balloon crews before formal training.
Typical hot air balloons fly from treetop level up to 5,000 feet, depending on the wind and airspace restrictions. The highest recorded flight reached over 30,000 feet.
