A great way to see the Valley of the Queens is to hire a balloon and see it from above. It is a spectacular site from above and should not be missed. For over two centuries, since its beginnings in France and well before the invention of the airplane, ballooning has been an exciting form of travel. It offers the rider a chance to see the world from an aerial perspective. My first time ballooning just happened to be in Luxor, Egypt and based upon the positive experience I had, it won't be the last. The fantastic views from the basket were astounding. We got lowered right into Edu temple and then we were raised a few thousand feet in the balloon where we were treated to a spectacular view of the Valley of the Queens. We got a good deal on the ride for approximately $75 US dollars a piece. It was well worth my money. The topographgy of the terrain was mind-blowing and truely amazing! This ballooning trip was the icing on the cake in Luxor and turned out to be one of my prime highlights while visiting Egypt!
