Это не просто Египет
5 / 5
Павел и Татьяна , 04 Nov 2025
Экскурсия началась рано, но каждый миг того стоит: добирались из Каира, провели насыщенный день осмотра гробниц и храмов, а затем — кульминация: рассвет в корзине воздушного шара. Вид на храмовые комплексы и Нил сверху — впечатляющий и запоминающийся. Организация была почти безупречной, единственное: стоит быть готовым к раннему подъёму и свежему утреннему воздуху. Отличный выбор для тех, кто хочет совместить историю Египта и необычные эмоции.

С высоты птичьего полета

Мы давно мечтали увидеть Египет «с высоты», и этот тур превзошёл все ожидания. Утренний подъём на шаре над долиной между храмами Карнак и Луксор был чарующим — когда солнце только-только встаёт, и рядом поднимаются десятки шаров, ощущаешь себя в фильме. Гид рассказывал живо, автобус и трансфер работали чётко, ночёвка и питание — комфортные. Мы обязательно вернёмся и рекомендуем этот тур друзьям.
