Tourist boat sinks in Red Sea, two missing
Two Spanish tourists were missing in the Red Sea on Thursday after their dive boat sank in rough water off Egypt’s Sinai coast, a popular beach holiday and diving destination.
Fourteen other Spanish tourists and seven Egyptian crew were rescued after the boat capsized and sank near Ras Mohammed. A naval boat was looking for the missing tourists, but had not spotted them more than five hours after the accident.
The privately-owned boat left the resort of Sharm el-Sheikh heading to Ras Mohammed, home to abundant coral reefs and a British Merchant Navy shipwreck that is a popular dive site.
