Qandil also met with Jordanian ministers of tourism and transportation, and the governor of the Jordanian city of Aqaba during his visit Saturday. Prominent Egyptian businessman Samih Sawiris was also in attendance.
Media coverage for Qandil's visit was banned at the last minute, based on an order from the Cabinet, according to the secretary-general of South Sinai governorate Mahmoud Mostafa. The abrupt announcement reportedly angered media members, who were told they could not approach Taba seaport.
Qandil was appointed by President Morsi 24 July. He served as minister of irrigation and water resources in the interim government of former Prime Minister Kamal El-Ganzouri.
