An Egyptian Air Force Dove left the Bahariya oasis for Cairo carrying a crew of two and seven passengers. Weather worsened en route and the pilot apparently lost orientation, so the crew made an emergency belly landing in the desert about 100 km northeast of Bahariya. Rescue teams could not find the aircraft, and the occupants died of thirst days later.
