The embassy described the incident as a “tragic traffic accident” and said the three men were killed while performing their duties.
The accident also resulted in injuries to two others, it added.
Both of the injured officials are receiving medical care at a hospital in Sharm el-Sheikh.
“The Embassy of the State of Qatar in Cairo extends its heartfelt condolences and sincere sympathies to the families of the deceased, praying that God envelops them in His vast mercy, accepts them in Paradise, and grants the injured a speedy recovery,” it added.
Egypt’s Sharm el-Sheikh was the venue for the negotiations for a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas to end the war in Gaza earlier this week. It is also scheduled to host a global summit on Monday aimed at finalising the agreement.
