News sources in the Middle East are reporting that a cruise ship carrying 112 Egyptian passengers sank in the Nile River yesterday evening after striking large rocks. The Al-Ahram’s news website report that the incident took place near the Egyptian cities of Kom Ombo and Aswan.
Reports are that all passengers safely disembarked the sinking vessel which is called the King of the Nile.
