An Arab tourist captured the moment of the quake inside a hotel in Cairo, with video clips showing pendant lights shaking and a sense of panic that led to guests evacuating the hotel. According to the National Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics, no serious injuries or significant damages were reported. They advised against using elevators, suggested turning off electricity and gas, and recommended staying away from windows during earthquakes. Additionally, people were advised to avoid beaches and take safety precautions when in schools and areas prone to seismic activity.
