Hatshepsut’s Mortuary Palace is stunning from the ground but from the air it is totally awe inspiring. Seeing the west bank villages and monuments from the air is an experience not to be missed but flying without an engine calls for complete confidence in the balloon pilot and the organisation he works for. All balloon flights take place on west bank and it is impossible to predict in advance of a flight which monuments will be flown over as everything depends on the prevailing wind on the day.  However, the expertise of the pilot will ensure that you see as much as possible.

For safety in the air and services on the ground we believe that no other company can compare with Hod Hod Soliman.  They are not the cheapest in the market by far but they are the best.  The owner of Hod Hod, Mohammed Ezz, is a flamboyant character who has not only a fist full of awards but also a coveted Blue Peter Badge from when the BBC flew with Hod Hod while preparing a children's programme..
