Security forces said the attackers arrived by sea to launch the onslaught on the beachside Bella Vista Hotel, in the Red Sea resort of Hurghada.
They claimed to have killed an attacker wearing a suicide bomb, and have seriously wounded a second armed with a knife.
The two attackers entered the hotel’s outdoor restaurant at the front of the building and attacked the tourists.
The attackers were reportedly carrying black flag of tawheed with the shahada, the Muslim testament of faith, written it white, commonly used by ISIS.
Egyptian authorities today said the dead attacker was a 21-year-old student from the Cairo neighbourhood of Giza as video emerged of his accomplice being questioned as he lay injured in the aftermath.
