Private Wadi El Natrun Coptic Monasteries Tour from Cairo

Описание

About 100 km northwest of Cairo, in a desert depression off the road to Alexandria, sit four of the oldest working monasteries on earth. Wadi El Natrun has been a center of Christian monastic life since the 4th century, when hermits came out to the desert to escape Roman persecution and founded a way of life that shaped monasticism worldwide. On this private day tour your guide takes you into the surviving monasteries, with their fortress walls, ancient churches, and monks who still live and pray there today. You see frescoes, relics, and keeps built to withstand raiders, all still in use after 1,600 years. It is a calm, reflective day, about 6 hours with the desert drive included. Ideal for travelers drawn to early Christian history and a quieter side of Egypt few visitors reach.
