Balloon over Luxor

[den123]

I have it on very good authority from someone who lives in Luxor and was on a balloon trip only last week. There is no problem at all if you wish to take photos.
Maybe the "authorised photographer" is just a money making scam.

Since I first saw this thread, I've read elsewhere online that photography is strictly prohibited at military installations, public works and government buildings.

I didn't make the Balloon ride, the few days I was there the visibility was not great, but the last day it was crystal clear, maybe next time.

I took lots of pics from a balloon during my last visit in may. They did say during the briefing that photography wasn't allowed but since everyone had a camera I really can't see how they can police this.

Thanks for sharing, I find it annoying that you can't take pictures in lot of the places, but I still managed to grab a few

We were going to do a balloon ride, but the weather turned bad on the day and had to be cancelled
