While at Saqqara our tour director Fadel Gad arranged a meeting with Mostafa Waziri, the Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities of Egypt. This is a very big deal. Nobody ranks above this guy with respect to Egyptian antiquities. He is the successor to Dr. Zawi Hawass. He gave a very good discussion of the work going on at Saqqara. There are lots of new discoveries being unearthed there. Fadel is a personal friend of Waziri and Hawass.
