At least 16 people died and 28 were injured in a bus crash on the road between Dahab and Nuweiba in Egypt’s South Sinai governorate.

The crash took place on Wednesday morning along the Red Sea coast. The health ministry sent 20 ambulances to provide first aid and evacuate the injured, but authorities had not identified the cause.

The area is a popular tourist destination for visitors from around the world. Deadly road crashes are common across Egypt, and authorities reported nearly 6,000 deaths in traffic accidents in 2025.

Such crashes are often attributed to reckless driving and poorly maintained roads. Last month, 18 people were killed and 30 injured when two trucks collided in the northeastern governorate of Ismailia, BBC reported.
