Two females recognized as Rania Al-Mashat and Inas Abdel Dayem have been appointed Ministers of Tourism and Culture in Egypt respectively, this act is the first of its kind in the history of the country!
The new female ministers were appointed into their respective positions along with two other men on Sunday 14th of January following a reshuffle of the cabinet by the Egypt’s lawmakers in a plenary meeting.
Abdel Dayem is a flutist graduate from Cairo’s conservatory and also holds a pHD from the Ecole Normale de musique in Paris. She is an award winning flutist in chamber music and solo performances and was appointed as the head of Cairo’s Opera house in 2012.
