		</div><p>A roadside bomb has hit a tourist bus near the Giza Pyramids, Egyptian officials have said.</p>
<p>The blast on Sunday wounded at least 17 people, including tourists, officials confirmed.</p>
<p>The officials said the bus was travelling on a road close to the Grand Egyptian Museum, which is under construction and located adjacent to the Giza Pyramids. It is not yet open to tourists.</p>
<p>The bus was carrying at least 25 people, mostly from South Africa, officials added.</p>
<p>Security forces cordoned off the site of the explosion and the wounded were taken to a nearby hospital, they said.</p>
<p>Officials reported the explosion damaging the windshield of another car. Footage circulated online showed shattered windows on the bus.</p>
<p>Egypt has battled Islamic militants for years in the Sinai Peninsula in an insurgency that has occasionally spilled over to the mainland, hitting minority Christians or tourists.</p>
<p>The attack comes as Egypt’s vital tourism industry is showing signs of recovery after years in the doldrums because of the political turmoil and violence that followed a 2011 uprising that toppled former leader Hosni Mubarak.</p>
<p>It is the second to target foreign tourists near the famed pyramids in less than six months.</p>
<p>In December, a bus carrying 15 Vietnamese tourists was hit by a roadside bomb, killing at least three of them.</p>
