I would not want that responsibility at this time, or for the next few years. What has happened to the Red Sea Resorts, it seems the faithful Russians have vacated the area. According to a couple who are now in Luxor and spent a week in Hurghada.

There's a new minister of agriculture, education and interior as well as a few others. Funny that was all overlooked.

Nothing funny I only deal personally with the Tourism Ministry hence I commented that the head of the ministry had been changed.
