Tribesmen have kidnapped two British tourists on route from Cairo to Egypt’s diving resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.
The kidnappers are reported to be demanding the release of four prisoners held in Alexandria on charges of arms smuggling.
The British Foreign Office says it is making urgent enquiries. Its website has for some time advised against all but essential travel to the Governorate of South Sinai, with the exception of the Red Sea Resorts.
