Man drowns on honeymoon trip in Aswan
Did anyone else read in the UK Telegraph newspaper about the freak storm on the Nile near Aswan that swamped a felluca and a UK man drowned? It appears that a strange storm came up suddenly with unbelieveable winds at around 3am that caused a Nile cruiser felluca that was moored to fill with water and cause a 31 year old UK teacher to save his wife and two others while being stuck under the deck and drown. So sad!

I tried to get the article to transfer but it won't go. Just go to today's UK telegraph and it is on there. It happened earlier this week and the Egyptian papers have nothing about it.For those of us who have been recently to Aswan,it is unbelievable that such a freak storm would occur?

Kavey,
Me too - the worst thing that could happen and it happens on a trip - and it got worse later when she tried to get on the cruise ships after having no communications at the hotel where she'd been dropped off at, and was turned away by cruise ship officers, presumably because of the mud on her still from trying to save him. Worse, the treatment by the officers at the scene.
Sharm el-Sheikh was hit pretty hard too - we were there in that very beautiful place for about 3 days.

Casual_Cairo,
Apologies - there is no way that I know of that the forum lets us know there's a question waiting for us and I just got back here about 15 days later.
