While approaching Cairo, the crew continued to the south for unknown reason. Few minutes later, due to fuel shortage, the captain decided to attempt an emergency landing in the djebel Kalamoun located near Wadi El Rayan, southwest of Faiyum. The three engine aircraft crash landed in a desert area and came to rest. A passenger was killed while 23 other occupants were rescued.
