I wish to express my fears of it being developed by just one person and call for partnership that will allow an AGR pursuit development in the country and beyond to boost the Tourist dream of the proprietor. The view from the Tower is remarkable the view is still fresh in my mind, although it reminds me of the story in both the bible and Quran about the ordeal between Moses and Pharaoh of which Pharaoh the Egyptian king is not portrayed in a good light am happy to know it has no relevance here”
