bank of the River Nile. Sindbad started trading in September 2005 ,and has
already flown several thousands of delighted passengers. Safety and high guest

WELCOME TO OUR WORLD
Luxor , Egypt is a Hot Air Ballooning environment, which many describe as
"enchanted" and any balloon flight will be a Special event SINDBAD BALLOONS
offer the highest quality at a competitive price to make an Extra Special Event
.
-
Passengers must be fit enough to enter and leave the basket by Themselves, and
must declare any health problem, which may be Relevant, so that we are prepared
should they suffer a crisis Pregnant women should not fly. All Passengers are
individuals And are treated as such . Age in itself is no drawback and
accompanied children are welcome at the discretion of our pilot A range of
balloons is available, carrying from four to twenty two passengers. The size of
balloon chosen by the pilot will be appropriate for the conditions prevailing
and size of the group.
-
Flights are available subject to weather conditions at dawn, one or two hours
later, and very occasionally in the afternoon. Take off is usually from a
suitable site on the West Bank, perhaps near the Ramessium or another place of
historic interest again depending on prevailing weather conditions, the major
influence on flight.
-
Flying directly over a particular site can not be guaranteed, but the Pilot
will do his best to give an interesting flight, which will certainly be unique
to the area.
-
Flights are under the control of the Local Airport tower, and radio contact is
maintained during the flight. Sometimes permission is given to cross the Nile,
but it is not always possible. Passengers are collected at a pre-arranged time
and taken to our private launch. On board a choice of hot drinks is offered,
very welcome pre-dawn. During the journey to West Bank introductions are made
and many enduring friendships start.
-
On reaching the West Bank, we transfer to our mini-bus and travel to a suitable
take-off site for the prevailing weather conditions of the day. The pilot will
give a safety briefing to the passengers, and will be glad to answer any
questions at this time.
-
The pilot is a mature, very experienced and highly qualified professional and
it shows. He will use his skill and judgment within the parameters of the
environment and weather conditions, to provide the type of flight most suitable
for particular passengers. For example, film crews, parties of athletic young
men or women, the elderly and family groups containing mixed ages and so on,
all have very different needs.
-
The pilot will take everything into consideration before making his final
decision on whether or not to fly. Safety considerations being the over-riding
factor. Cancellations are few.
-
After the flight, if the venue is suitable, the celebration of landing may lead
to dancing or singing by the local people or the crew. Photo-calls of local
people or fossil hunting, according to the site, while the crew pack the
balloon envelope, are certificates awarded. There are usually local people to
welcome the landing and their greetings are warm and totally heartfelt. The
people in the small villages close to Luxor seldom see tourists other than
balloon passengers. Farmers living very simple lives are delighted to meet
people from a totally different culture. In return, our passengers see a style
of life that is hidden by commerce and hype to most visitors and frequently
remark on the privilege of the experience. This short period of relaxation in a
convivial group sets the seal of complete enjoyment.
-
Within reason, after the trip passengers are escorted locally where they wish.
They may return to their accommodation or go elsewhere, perhaps to the Valley
of the kings or Karnak Temple.
-
In the event of special offers, there will be no reduction in Quality. Safety
should never come at price!
We are pleased to offer you a WELCOME TO OUR WORLD.
