Overview

Explore Egypt’s Coptic Christian heritage on a 14-hour private monastery tour from Hurghada. Traveling north through the Eastern Desert mountains with your very own knowledgeable guide, head to the 4th-century, village-style St Anthony’s Monastery, the world’s oldest working monastery. Admire the beautiful, palm-fringed complex and visit its decorated churches and chapels as you hear about its long history. Then, continue to serene St Paul’s Monastery, another 4th-century, fortified retreat. View its well-preserved frescoes and churches, including a rock-carved cave church, before returning to Hurghada. Lunch is included on your tour.
