Egyptian authorities received reports that a “tourist boat” with 14 Egyptian and Gulf passengers on board had sunk in the waters of the Nile River between Cairo’s Qasr El Nil and Old Cairo areas.
It turned out that an Egyptian family was hosting Gulf relatives and went out for a walk in the Nile River. They boarded a tourist boat, but it sank into the water, resulting in the suffocation of four Gulf nationals and five Egyptians.
Ambulances rushed the injured to Al-Qasr Al-Aini Hospital, while authorities continued to search for three missing people and revealed that two Egyptians had died.
Investigations revealed that the vessel’s license had expired and had not been renewed, and its passenger capacity was expected to be no more than four people.
Necessary reports on the incident have been prepared and the prosecution has been informed to investigate.
