Dr. Adela Ragab, Deputy Minister of Tourism, revealed that a meeting was held yesterday with leaders of the Ministry of Water Resources to resolve all the problems of floating hotels on long cruises between Cairo and Aswan, in agreement with the Ministry of Irrigation and the River Transport Authority.
Ragab said in a special statement to "Travel Yalla News" that it was agreed to form a permanent, ongoing crisis committee to deal with any emergency disrupting river traffic, especially as it is a distinguished type of tourism, which began in May and runs until the last cruises on October 20.
She added that coordination has taken place between investors, the ministries of tourism and irrigation, and the transport authority, so that bulletins on changes in the water level are announced sufficiently in advance, especially as bookings are made at least a year before the cruise programs are carried out.
