Dubai Ballons Festival

The first of the 10 day long annual balloon festival in Dubai, to mark off the Dubai Shopping Festival. About 75 balloons participated, and the event is still ongoing. These batch of photos were taken from the Global Village in Dubai, where for this round, 35 balloons were launched.
The organisation of this event was a bit haphazard, but we have been promised that next Friday, all 75 balloons will be launched in the morning - that's something to look forward to! So, hopefully, more photos to come.
