Our first hot air balloon ride was an amazing experience.
Woke up early before 4am to wait for the transport to the east band of Nile. There were about 20 passengers sharing a balloon. Our pilot was very experienced and spoke well English. The balloon took off very smoothly, and before I realized we're already up in the cool and fresh morning air.
The weather was excellent, the wind was calm and gentle. We were so lucky to witness the sun rising slowly across the River Nile. It's so beautiful my limited vocabulary failed to describe it.
The sky was getting brighter as we floating smoothly in the air. We could see more clearly now the spectacular views of picturesque landscape and blue sky. We floated slowly over the Nile, the Safari desert, vegetable farms, and Kings' Valley which was an important historical ruin of ancient Egypt.
After 50 minutes in the air we finally landed softly on the desert.
