A Russian tourist was spotted giving birth in the Red Sea in Egypt.
Hadia Hosny El Said captured the moment from the balcony of her uncle’s apartment in Dahab, north of Sharm El-Sheikh.
The photos show the new father helping carry his newborn.
Moments later, the mother emerged from the water looking as if she had just been for a swim.
Once back on shore, the mother was reunited with her children.
Hadia said the older man carrying the baby was a doctor who specialized in water births, meaning the delivery was arranged ahead of time.
The mother’s identity has not been revealed nor the condition of the child, though both appeared to be happy and healthy after the delivery.
Welcome to world, little one!
