LUXOR – The civil aviation authorities on Thursday cancelled some 40 hot-air balloon rides that fly over the west bank of the Nile River in Luxor due to the high wind speed and poor visibility.
Nearly 40 hot-air balloon flights were scheduled to carry 850 tourists of various nationalities, said Ahmed Aboud, the representative of the Egyptian Federation of Hot Air Ballooning Companies.
Aboud added the rides were cancelled for the tourists’ safety.
