TWO Edinburgh holidaymakers who claim to have endured a holiday from hell in Egypt have joined 45 others in a High Court action against two holiday companies.

One of the claims has been brought by a widower who has alleged that his wife died as a result of contracting a gastro- intestinal illness while staying at the five-star Movenpick Hotel at Taba in Egypt in 2010.

The holidaymakers are suing First Choice Holidays and Flights and Longwood Holidays over package trips to the hotel. Forty six claims are against First Choice and one against Longwood.
