The Red Sea Operations Room received on Monday many reports that four Egyptian sailors went missing after setting off a sailing trip in the Red Sea for 7 days.
According to a security source, four sailors, named Nagy, his son Ahmed Nagy, Adly Eslam and Eslam Moussa, were mysteriously disappeared during a sailing trip off Hurghada southern coasts on the Red Sea.

On his part, Gharib Saleh, head of the Red Sea Fishermen Association, said that everyone is working hard to find the missing sailors, adding that the concerned bodies deployed, in coordination with the Red Sea governorate, a number of naval vessels and a helicopter in search for the four sailors.
In solidarity with the Egyptian sailors, a big number of social media users called for rapidly finding the missing sailors, through initiating a hashtag that reads #بحاره_الغردقه_المفقودين
It is noteworthy that searching is still underway for a Scottish businessman whose empty yacht washed ashore off Egypt after he headed back to Britain for Christmas on an ambitious solo trip from Australia.
The £300,000 vessel belonging to Colin Finnie, 67, was discovered after it ran aground in the Red Sea on December 13.
Mr. Finnie, a grandfather from Helensburgh in Argyll, lost contact with his family six days earlier as he neared the end of his 5,000-mile voyage. He had flown to the country alone to pick up the boat and had planned to sail it back to Scotland.
The boat’s transponder last pinged at 8.23 am on October 25 at a location just off Christmas Island, near Indonesia.
