Journey Overview

Enjoy a comfortable and relaxing drive to Wadi El Natrun, home to four remarkable monasteries that you can explore. The name "Wadi El Natrun" refers to the eight lakes in the area that produce natural salt, adding to the unique beauty and significance of this destination. Don’t miss the chance to immerse yourself in its rich history and serene landscapes!

Your Journey

  1. Your representative will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo by A/C vehicle to escort you for a visit to Wadi El Natrun, home to four surviving monasteries. The name Wadi El Natrun refers to the eight different lakes that produce Natron salt. Our first stop will be Deir Anba Bishoi, named after Bishoi, whose body still lies in the monastery. Early Christians chose this desert location for their monasteries due to the persecution they faced under Roman rule. Next, we will visit Deir al Baramus, the oldest of the four surviving monasteries, known for the story of the two sons of Valentinus who were tested to prove their faith. To conclude this fascinating tour, we will visit Deir El Suryani, the smallest yet most attractive monastery. Upon entry, you'll find domes, staircases, and balconies, and it is said to hold a lock of hair from Mary Magdalene. After the tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Cairo.

A memorable outing

Looking back through our photos, this is a day that keeps coming up in conversation. The practical arrangements were easy to follow, which made the day feel much less tiring. Not every moment was perfect, but the overall experience was a good one and I am glad we went.

Una piacevole pausa dalla routine

Era la nostra prima visita in zona e volevamo evitare un’organizzazione troppo complicata. Le indicazioni pratiche erano chiare e questo ci ha aiutato a vivere la giornata con meno pensieri. La prossima volta farei meno foto e mi godrei un po’ di più il momento.
