Six Belgian tourists were killed Friday and 29 injured when their bus overturned on the Aswan-Abu Simble road, about 40 kilos from the Famous tourist site of Abu simble, in Upper Egypt.

Egyptian armed forces despatched a special plane to transport the deceased as well as the injuries to Cairo.

The bus was carrying 32 Belgian tourists and three Egyptians when it overturned apparently as a result of human error.
