Your day begins with a pick-up from your hotel in Cairo, where your expert English-speaking guide will accompany you on the journey to Wadi El-Natrun. This scenic drive will take you through the desert road, approximately midway between Cairo and Alexandria. Upon arrival, you will first visit Deir Al-Baramus, the oldest and most remote of the Wadi El-Natrun monasteries. This peaceful monastery holds historical significance as one of the earliest centers of Christian monasticism in Egypt.

Next, you’ll continue to Deir Anba Bishoi, a monastery renowned for its rich history and its connection to the monastic life of the famous Coptic saint, Bishop Bishoi. This monastery is considered one of the most significant spiritual sites in the region.

Your last stop is Deir el-Suryani, the smallest of the four monasteries in Wadi El-Natrun. Despite its size, this monastery is rich in history and is a beautiful example of Coptic architecture and spirituality.

After exploring these historic sites, you will be driven back to Cairo, where your tour concludes with a transfer to your hotel.

This excursion offers an incredible opportunity to experience Egypt’s deep Christian heritage in a peaceful and historically rich setting.
