The 2004 Sinai bombings were three bomb attacks targeting tourist hotels in the Sinai Peninsula , Egypt , on 7 October 2004 . The attacks killed 34 people and injured 171 . The explosions occurred in the Hilton Taba in Taba and campsites used by Israelis in Ras al-Shitan . In the Taba attack , a truck drove into the lobby of the Taba Hilton and exploded , killing 31 people and wounding some 159 others . Ten floors of the hotel collapsed following the blast . Some south , at campsites at Ras al-Shitan , near Nuweiba , two more bombings happened . A car parked in front of a restaurant at the Moon Island resort exploded , killing three Israelis and a Bedouin . Twelve were wounded . Another blast happened moments later , targeting the Baddiyah camp , but did not harm anyone because the bomber had apparently been scared off from entering the campground by a guard
