Two British tourists were in hospital last night after the hot-air balloon they were in crashed.
Caroline Williams and Linda Lea were among 16 people injured when the balloon hit a mobile phone mast on the west bank of the River Nile.
They both suffered broken legs and were taken to Luxor International Hospital before being transferred to a hospital in Cairo. The women had been on a flight to watch sunrise over the Valley of the Kings as part of a dream holiday.
A spokesman for Magic Horizon Balloons, which ran the tour, blamed the accident on" very high winds".
A hospital spokesman said:" Fortunately, the balloon was not far off the ground when it fell - the injuries could have been a lot worse."
