Light-to-moderate walking ability; able to manage stairs, short hikes on uneven surfaces and early wake-ups.

Operators follow safety procedures, but balloon rides involve climbing into a basket and standing for the flight; those with significant mobility issues or pregnancy should check with the operator beforehand.
This itinerary includes breakfasts and lunches as listed, plus the internal flight from Cairo to Luxor; verify specifics at booking for any additional meals or upgrades.
