Les racines turques
Cappadocia is a region in central Turkey famous for volcanic rock formations and since the 1990s hot air balloon tourism. Up to 150 balloons launch daily at sunrise.
Pourquoi le nom a voyagé jusqu'à Dubaï
When Dubai ballooning launched in the mid-2010s, several pilots had trained in Cappadocia. The landscape is completely different but the ballooning craft carried over.
Cappadoce vs Dubaï
Cappadocia: 150 balloons per morning, unique rock scenery, cold winter. Dubai: 5-15 balloons, protected desert reserve, warm year-round when flying.
