We were collected promptly at 5am directly from our boat and transferred to the launch field, one of the first to arrive. We were briefed on safety, and chatted to other travellers. After flight approval was gained, there was an entertaining rush as all balloon crews raced to get their balloon into the air.
Then we were called to climb into our balloon pods and up we went.
Our pilot was very experienced and called out heights and things to see. Seeing other balloons around us and sun rise over the Nile was spectacular!
Eventually we slowly drifted down to a landing field where the crewe was waiting, and the pilot landed gently.
We were transferred to our bus and dropped off at a cafe we had requested.
Definitely a holiday highlight!
