At least 17 people were injured after an explosion on Sunday targeted a tourist bus near the Giza pyramids in Egypt, according to reports citing local officials.
The injured people include South African tourists and Egyptians. There was no report of deaths, said the report.
A device went off near the bus, which was carrying 25 tourists, according to security sources.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

The incident became the second of this kind in Egypt in six months.
Three Vietnamese holidaymakers and an Egyptian tour guide were killed in December last year following a roadside bomb blast.
