The "Flying Airship" The Experience of a Canadian Family to Learn about Egyptian Antiquities in Luxor

All the effects of the Egyptian Luxor region can be seen at the same time, from aboard the "flying airship", as the sense of excitement dominates the visitors while flying over the pharaonic temples located on the banks of the Nile for thousands of years.

Canadian travel blogger and photographer Kevin Waggar decided to have a unique experience with his family in 2020, by flying aboard a "flying airship" over the pharaonic temples that have been on the banks of the Nile for thousands of years.

Luxor is characterized by its unique archaeological character that distinguishes it from all parts of the world, and it is among the most important tourist attractions in Egypt.

In an interview with CNN in Arabic , Waghar said that during his travels with his family, he is constantly looking for new experiences that offer a fascinating perspective on the places they visit.

Waghar saw that Luxor is famous for its magnificent temples and tombs located in the Valley of the Kings. As a travel blogger and photographer, it was clear that this type of experience would not only be amazing, but also make a great story to inspire other families, and also result in some memorable photos.

When the Waghar family began planning a visit to Luxor, I learned that flying a balloon was an unmissable experience while visiting the area.

The family had never experienced this type of air travel before, and after viewing some photos and checking to ensure a decent safety record for the operators of this experience, the Waggar family realized that experiencing an air balloon for the first time in Luxor would make it an amazing and unforgettable experience.

“The hot air balloon experience in Luxor is one of the most amazing, if not the only, ways to get an aerial view of the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and Luxor Temple,” Waggar said.

He added that viewing these monuments of some of the most important periods of history from above provides a rare opportunity to experience how these majestic complexes connect the historic Nile River, the sprawling green agricultural lands and the heights of the Taiba Mountains.

The family's view of the giant airships inflating by the heat of the amazingly bright flames against the darkness of the sky was admirable. But the real magic of the experience began when the balloon took off.
