CAIRO - 18 February 2023: A total of 55 hot air balloon flights took off in the western mainland skies of Luxor Saturday, carrying more than 1,500 tourists from around the world to enjoy the magic of nature and ancient Egyptian civilization. 
 
Ahmed Abboud, a representative of the Balloon Federation companies in Luxor, said that with the clock strikes four in the morning every day, the men of the 17 balloon companies that operate in the western mainland airport leave their homes to prepare their balloons that will fly with tourists from around the world at sunrise, and others go to fixed and floating hotels.  
 
More than 1,500 tourists from European and Asian countries and around the world rode the hot air balloon flights amid an atmosphere of joy.
 
The representative of the balloon flying companies in Luxor says that all balloon companies launch their flights in the sky on a daily basis amid strict compliance with civil aviation instructions, which maintain the security and safety of the participants by following strict precautionary and preventive measures

The adventure begins with foreigners on that exhilarating journey at dawn, by bringing tourists from the hotels and boats in which they reside at 4:30 a.m. in the morning, and they are served breakfast with tea and coffee to emphasize good hospitality, and the Nile boats transfer them to the western mainland. 
 
Tourists are then transported by tourist buses to the Flying Balloon Airport. 
 
Luxor witnesses the flight of flying balloon trips in Luxor throughout the year, but in the winter season the demand for trips increases, as tourists from around the world enjoy the most important tourist trips that attract everyone on the western mainland, as safety measures for trips include daily sterilization of all balloons continuously. 
 
Operated in West Luxor, air balloon flights are among the  most important adventure trips in the world, especially with Luxor being one of the most famous global cities in this field due to its warm atmosphere and extensive preparations.
