Emergency crews rescue 29 from sunken tourist submarine in Hurghada, Red Sea; 6 dead, 9 injured, cause unknown.
Six people died, and nine others were injured after a tourist submarine sank in the popular Egyptian Red Sea destination of Hurghada, two municipal officials said Thursday (March 27, 2025).
The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media.
Emergency crews were able to rescue 29 people, according to a statement released by the Red Sea governorate. The submarine was sailing off one of the beaches in the tourist promenade area, and it had carried 45 tourists of various nationalities.
It was not immediately clear what caused the submarine to sink.
Many tourist companies have stopped or limited traveling on the Red Sea due to the dangers from conflicts in the region.
