Nineteen tourists were rescued in the southern shore of Aqaba, according to the official spokesperson for the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority, Fayez Al-Fayez.

Naval force boats and royal boats moved to the site of the accident, and it was found that a boat that belonged to a tourist company was making a regular diving trip at 10:30 PM.

A mechanical malfunction occurred in the boat which caused the captain to lose control of the boat which drifted off course.

The rescue teams managed to rescue everyone on board before sustaining any injuries.
