Great experience. Worth visiting these ancient Coptic monasteries, where Chrisianity existed from 1st century onwards
Der Fahrer war gut. Die Klöster waren sehr interessant und sehenswert. Ich hatte keinen deutschen Guide, wie gebucht und es gab auch keinen Snack. Schade!
Destination peu connue et peu prisée si j'en crois le peu de monde ici... Reste que cela vaut le détour ! Improbable... Immense... A flanc de montagne. En face, désert à perte de vue... A mi chemin entre Hurgada et le Caire... 250*2 dans tous les cas. Taxi privé. Très bon chauffeur. jeune et sympa ! Bonne voiture ! On a partagé nos gouts musicaux. Entre l'Egypte et la Bretagne. Entre tradition et modernité. Les moines : sympa ! faut dire que j'étais seul. Un peu d'animation dans leur vie ! Le repas : manque de partage d'info. Pas prévu. Le chauffeur a arrangé l'affaire ! Départ et retour dans
