Two people have died following a devastating coach crash involving tourists near a beach resort in Egypt. The incident occurred on the Ras Gharib-Hurghada road, north of the Red Sea, early this morning. Around 36 others sustained injuries in the collision, which involved a coach belonging to a Red Sea tourism company and a heavy truck. Authorities have confirmed that the deceased include the driver of the coach and one passenger. It is believed that 24 of the passengers on the coach were foreign nationals, although their nationalities have not yet been disclosed. Several ambulances were dispatched to the scene to transport the injured to hospitals in and around Hurghada, a popular tourist destination known for its sandy beaches and luxury hotels. The crash has raised concerns about road safety in Egypt, particularly for tourists. The coach was reportedly travelling north from Hurghada, but it remains unclear where it was headed. The journey from Hurghada to Cairo takes approximately five hours, while trips to the Pyramids of Giza typically last around three hours. This incident follows another tragic event in Egypt, where at least two people died in a collision between two passenger trains in the Nile Delta. That crash, which occurred in the city of Zagazig, resulted in around 30 injuries, with some victims also believed to be foreign nationals. The Egyptian railway system has faced scrutiny due to frequent accidents attributed to an aging infrastructure and mismanagement. In response, the government has announced initiatives aimed at improving railway safety. As investigations continue into the coach crash, authorities are working to provide support to the victims and their families.
