A bus crash on Egypt's Red Sea coast has claimed at least 16 lives and injured 28 others, according to the country's health ministry. The tragic accident occurred on Wednesday morning between the Red Sea towns of Dahab and Nuweiba in the South Sinai governorate. Reports suggest that Jordanian nationals were among the fatalities.
Emergency services responded swiftly to the crash site, deploying as many as 20 ambulances to provide immediate aid and evacuate the injured. The source of the accident remains undetermined. The region is a popular tourist hotspot, drawing visitors from various parts of the globe.
Road accidents are an unfortunate reality in Egypt, with the authorities reporting nearly 6,000 fatalities in 2025 alone. Such incidents are frequently attributed to reckless driving and inadequate road maintenance. In a separate incident last month, 18 people lost their lives and 30 were injured when two lorries collided in the northeastern Ismailia governorate.
