		</div><p>Egyptian authorities have resumed hot air ballooning over the ancient city of Luxor following a two-day hiatus after two tourists were lightly injured during a ride.</p>
<p>A hot air balloon with 28 tourists drifted off course on Monday because of a change in the direction and speed of winds.</p>
<p>The balloon was at an altitude of 197 feet when it veered off course.</p>
<p>Before landing in an open area, the balloon slightly collided with another one.</p>
<p>The Ministry of Civil Aviation said it decided to resume the rides after reviewing “all safety measures and steps taken” to operate the popular flights.</p>
<p>It said the two firms operating the balloons involved in Monday’s incident were still suspended until investigations are completed.</p>
<p>Hot air ballooning over Luxor, 320 miles south of Cairo, offers tourists views of ancient temples in the city.</p>
<p>However, ballooning accidents are not uncommon.</p>
<p>A hot air balloon crash near Luxor in 2013 killed 19 tourists, likely the deadliest such accident on record.</p>
<p>In 2009, 16 tourists were hurt when their balloon struck a mobile phone transmission tower.</p>
<p>A year earlier, seven tourists were injured in a similar incident.</p>
