Enjoy hot air balloon rides on Egypt holidays

There are few better ways to view the Valley of the Kings on Egypt holidays than during a hot air balloon ride.

This is according to TNT Magazine, which said the famous region of the north African country is a "visual feast" best seen from a bird's-eye view.

"Standing proud amid the scorched desert landscape of the Theban Hills, on Luxor's west bank, this secret royal burial ground for 62 pharaohs consists of a clutch of lavishly-decorated tombs," the column stated.

Luxor Temple is among the must-see sights in the area - this ancient building is "truly breathtaking" and is one of the few temples to allow visitors to enter at night.

The article also recommended a trip to Cairo, explaining that it is a lively city filled with hidden treasures.

Those looking to view the Valley of the Kings from the skies should book onto one of The Adventure Company's Egypt holidays.

For example, the Feluccas & Pharaohs Family Holiday
includes an optional hot air balloon ride, along with trips to Cairo, Aswan and the Red Sea.
