A tragic bus crash on Egypt’s Red Sea coast on Wednesday morning has claimed at least 22 lives and left 28 injured.


The accident occurred on the road linking the seaside towns of Dahab and Nuweiba in the South Sinai governorate.


Reports from Egyptian and Jordanian media suggest that up to 10 Jordanian nationals were among those killed.


The exact cause of the crash remains unknown, and emergency services are still probing the incident.


The area is a popular tourist destination attracting visitors from around the world.


Medical teams are treating the injured in three hospitals, according to the health ministry.


Road accidents continue to claim lives; Egypt recorded nearly 6,000 fatalities in 2025.


Accidents are often blamed on reckless driving and poor road maintenance.


Earlier this month, a collision of two trucks in Ismailia governorate killed 18 and injured 30.
