Dubai
is a leading tourist destination with a variety of attractions and destinations
that you can visit. Among the most intriguing excursions is the Dubai Hot Air Balloon
tour where you can get to soar up in the sky to enjoy an amazing view of the
Dubai Desert.
Dubai
is located within the Arabian Desert which is adorned with high rising red sand
dunes, oasis and wildlife that you will get to see from the air. The hot air
balloon also provides a peaceful and tranquil environment which you will most
definitely appreciate during the ride.
How does a hot air balloon work?
A
hot air balloon is an aircraft that is lighter than air. It is composed of an
envelope and wicker basket.
The
hot air balloon envelope contains heated air from burning liquid propane. The
hot air makes the balloon buoyant since heated air is lighter than the
surrounding air outside of the balloon. The inside of the envelope is also made
from fire resistant material such as Nomex to keep it from catching fire.
The
wicker basket which is also known as a Gondola is used as the carrying vessel
for passengers.
