At least 6 feared dead after tourist submarine sinks in Egypt’s Red Sea

Multiple ambulances have been deployed to the coastal city of Hurghada which is popular with British travellers, with at least another nine people injured.

The Sinbad submarine, which can hold 44 passengers and has taken tourists to explore the area’s coral reefs for years, sank close to the harbour in front of a luxury hotel, according to reports.
The injured, including four in critical condition, were taken to nearby hospitals. Twenty-nine other passengers were rescued.

The cause of the sinking has not been confirmed.
