Cairo: An explosive device exploded near a bus carrying South African tourists near the Pyramids of Giza, wounding several tourists according to authorities.

The explosives blew up near the bus, which was carrying 25 tourists from South Africa, shattering windows and injuring many of those on board, an official said.
