No. Balloon flights depend on weather and aviation permissions. If conditions are not suitable, we will help with the best available reschedule or alternative based on the operator policy. Which tombs are included? Standard Valley of the Kings entry includes a selection of open tombs. Premium tombs such as Tutankhamun or Seti I, when available, require separate tickets. Is this suitable in summer? It can work with a very early start, sun protection, and a shorter route. For most travellers, October through April is more comfortable. Can we skip the balloon? Yes. The West Bank can be arranged as a private archaeology day without the balloon, with more time for tombs and temples. Have more questions? ## Pricing Starting prices in US dollars.
