At least eight people have been killed when a bus carrying mostly Israeli tourists overturned on the Red Sea coast of the Sinai peninsula.
Hospital sources in the Sinai, which is popular with tourists from Israel and around the world, said 39 others were injured in the accident.
It happened between the northern peninsula resorts of Nuweiba and Taba.
Most of the victims are believed to be Israeli Arabs.
Egyptian security sources said the accident occurred on a windy mountainous road near the hamlet of Saada, about 45km north of Nuweiba, as the bus was heading to Taba, which lies on the border with Israel.
The sources said the bus was speeding but did not rule out a technical fault as the cause of the accident.
