Current Terms and Conditions for Red Sea Rangers 
The current review is based on the information available to the consultant from interviews 
with Unit s management and staff.  The findings of the review provided many useful 
insights concerning rangers  status.  Generated information was used for documenting 
current terms and conditions of Red Sea rangers, as well as a starting point for 
organizational development task.   
The Red Sea Protectorate performs its assigned tasks as a Staff Unit assisting the NCS in 
relating matters. It reports directly to the Head of the NCS. The Red Sea Protectorate comes 
in the top of NCS' priorities and it holds Dr. Fouda s full support.   
The Unit is supported by a highly qualified consultant hired by the PSU project to support 
the protectorate office at the Red Sea area and acting as the general supervisor for the Unit. 
Dr. Hanafy holds an advanced degree in marine biology accompanied by extensive 
experience in environmental management. Lately, the Unit was supported by additional 
two senior consultants (a former Navy officer and a geologist) also hired by the PSU for 
further enhancement of the Unit.  Currently, the Red Sea rangers are hosted in the PSU 
rented premises. Furthermore, the project provides for more than 95% of the running costs 
of the Unit's activities. Although such support is essential at this stage, it could form a time 
bomb endangering the sustainability of the Unit if the phase out plan is not implemented 
accurately and in timely manner.           
  
The Red Sea Protectorate employs 46 people directly hired by EEAA and distributed in 
three offices, Hurghada, Qusseir & Marsa Allam and El Shalteen. Most of the staff are 
employed by a temporary employment contract. Those contracts are annually renewable 
based on availability of funds on Bab 1 of the EEAA/Minister Office's central budget or on 
the investment budget for protectorates projects, and are also based on employer 
satisfaction. 
The employment contract could be terminated based on the employer's desire at any time 
without notice in the following conditions: 
    
Lack of available funds 
    
For security reasons or if the employee conducts a crime prosecuted by law 
    
In case the employee turned to be unfit health wise for the position 
    
Based on recommendation of legal interrogation and concurred on by the authority 
    
If EEAA determine so, without giving reasons. 
More than 95 % of the employees are not from the Red Sea area. EEAA and the PSU project 
have provided the rangers with appropriate residential buildings for housing. The rangers 
work 21 sequenced days and are granted 9 days off, in place of weekends. In El Shalteen, 
rangers work 15 days in a row and have 15 days off due to the Prime Minster's decree 
governing working conditions in the area. Daily working hours are not fixed and not 
limited to a normal 8 hour day. Daily working hours are based on the nature of 
assignments. In addition to that, the rangers are granted 30 days for annual leave, 5 days as 
casual leave and up to 21 days as sick leave.
