Balloon rides offering scenic aerial sights of your Nile River plus the historic temples of Karnak and Hatshepsut really are a preferred vacationer attraction in Luxor, about 9 hours' drive southeast of Cairo.

"We are still seeking another missing bodies," Luxor province Gov. Izzat Saad told Nile TV set.

An Egyptian pilot and a further Egyptian have been also on board, the governor claimed.
