Lindstrand Balloon School

Luxor - Egypt 

If you are considering learning to fly a hot air balloon for the first time, or just wishing to consolidate previous experience, or just staying current – then think Lindstrand in Luxor! 

The combination of the very flyable weather in the Luxor region of Egypt year round, very experienced training pilots as well as English BBAC qualified Instructors and Examiners make the Lindstrand Balloon School in Luxor the perfect choice. 

Unlike a number of other overseas year round training venues this region of Egypt provides a perfect combination of a relaxed flying environment with breathtaking locations steeped in ancient history. Take off is invariably from the steps of an ancient temple beside the shores of the river Nile with flights often over the Valley of the Kings and landings on the edge of the Sahara desert. 

With the very latest Lindstrand balloons and equipment available as well as great value luxury accommodation and flights from the UK and most European cities, the Lindstrand Balloon School can arrange either a bespoke service or a complete training package, right from a first flight through to the acquisition of a UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Private Pilots Licence (PPL B).

We encourage you to think of the course as a working holiday and you are welcome to come with your wife (and family), partner, or a friend. After flying and lessons the rest of the day will be free for sightseeing or simply laying by the swimming pool. We can also offer sightseeing 

The full training package includes:

 

bullet At least 16 hours of training flights, including 4 Instructor flights, in one of our low hour Lindstrand balloons

 

bullet Full ground school tuition for the 5 written exams

 

bullet 4x4 retrieve/tow vehicle & trailer
