LONDON: On Tuesday, the UAE Balloon team successfully launched the third tour of the UAE Balloon in the British city of Bristol. This tour represents a significant milestone in a global initiative that began in 2004, honouring the legacy of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founding father of the United Arab Emirates.
Captain Pilot Abdulaziz Nasser Al Mansouri, President of the UAE Balloon, highlighted the balloon’s itinerary, which includes multiple countries across the Middle East, Asia, Europe, North America, and Brazil. The primary aim of this tour is to promote a spirit of tolerance, understanding, and unity among people from different cultures and backgrounds around the world.

Looking ahead, Al Mansouri announced that the next leg of the tour will take the UAE Balloon to the Russian Federation, with planned stops in Moscow and St. Petersburg. This expansion into new territories aims to further foster international relationships and celebrate diversity through the universal language of art and adventure.
