STORYLINE:
Three French tourists drowned in Oman after the boat they were in capsized in waters off the sultanate's capital city of Muscat, police said Tuesday.

Associated Press footage filmed on Tuesday showed the seafront in the Omani capital of Muscat.

The Royal Oman Police said the ship carried 25 French tourists, as well as a tour guide and a boat captain, when it capsized in the Gulf of Oman. It said three tourists died and two suffered minor injuries.

The police said in a short statement that “investigations are still ongoing to determine the circumstances of the incident.”

Later on Tuesday, tourists were seen looking out to the seafront and a tourist boat sat at Muscat's harbour.

Oman, on the eastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula, draws tourists from around the world for its diving and natural beauty, though the nation remains overshadowed as a destination by skyscraper-studded Dubai in the neighboring United Arab Emirates.
