An Egyptian worker has been seriously injured after a fight broke out involving tourists, according to local media.
The fracas reportedly started after four tourists did not pay for services that were used at a hotel in the town of Taba, Egypt’s state-affiliated Al-Qahera News TV said on Friday.
Three other Egyptian workers and three of the tourists, who are believed to be Arab-Israelis, also sustained injuries, the channel reported a source as saying.
A high-level Egyptian source was also quoted by the channel saying that there was “no truth” in Israeli media reports that claimed the incident was “against their citizens”.
The hotel is believed to be the five-star Movenpick Resort, which has 424 rooms and a private beach.
All those involved were transferred to hospital, according to Al-Qahera News TV, and police are investigating to determine the cause of the quarrel.
