Saudi Heroes To The Rescue: Border Guards Save 10 Egyptians After Boat Mishap

In a shining example of Saudi dedication and professionalism, search and rescue teams from the Border Guards in Qunfudhah, part of the Makkah Region, successfully rescued 10 Egyptian residents after their boat ran aground on coral reefs in the Red Sea.

Acting swiftly and efficiently, the Saudi teams provided all necessary assistance, ensuring the safety and well-being of those on board!

This heroic effort underscores the Kingdom’s unwavering commitment to maritime safety and regional cooperation. The General Directorate of Border Guards also reminded the public of the importance of adhering to maritime safety regulations — including checking weather conditions and vessel readiness before sailing.

For emergencies, the public is urged to contact:

  • 911 in the Makkah Region and Eastern Province

  • 994 in all other regions across the Kingdom

This rescue not only highlights the preparedness of Saudi emergency teams but also reflects the nation’s values of hospitality, vigilance, and care for all who sail its waters.
