Itinerary

Wadi el Natroun Monastery Tour Itinerary

Because of the nature and duration of our Wadi el Natroun Monastery tour, we need to get off to an early start, so your tour guide will meet you at your hotel at 07h00, and then you will be driven to Wadi el Natrun in a private air-conditioned vehicle.

Once you reach the site, your tour will begin with a visit to Deir al-Baramus which is the oldest and most isolated of the four monasteries. Next, you will visit Deir Anba Bishoi. Interestingly, Deir Anba Bishoi’s body is still inside the monastery to this day. Your tour will eventually end with a visit to the smallest and most compact of the four monasteries, Deir El-Suryani.

You will also be taken for lunch at a local restaurant during your Wadi el Natroun Monastery tour.

Once your tour finally comes to an end, you will then be driven back to your hotel in Cairo.
