Anita and her son were returning from a trip to Kite Village Hamata when the bus crashed at high speed.
The bus veered off the road and flipped over several times, killing the Polish tourists and one other passenger on 29 July
Seven people were hospitalised with injuries.
The Polish authorities explained that the victims’ bodies are still in Egypt as the repatriation procedure is complicated, as reported by Need To Know.
Prosecutor Daniel Brodowski told local media: “When will they arrive? I don’t want to comment as we don’t know for sure.
“There’s a whole procedure that must be followed due to sanitary protocols, and it’s not easy.
“The family is handling this.”
He added that cooperation with the Egyptian authorities is crucial to bringing the victims’ bodies home, and that an autopsy may have to take place in Poland.
Anita was a respected gynaecologist at the Municipal Polyclinical Hospital in the Polish city of Olsztyn.
A hospital spokesperson said: “It is with deep sadness that we inform you that our colleague, Dr. Anita Samek-Krymkowska, has tragically passed away, along with her seven-year-old son.
“A loving mother of two, happily married, and a wonderful friend, she was always willing to help others and was committed and dedicated to her work.”
She leaves behind a husband, a cardiologist from Mrągowo, and a daughter.
The investigation into the victims’ deaths is ongoing.
