A comfortable pickup from Alexandria Port marks the start of your day. You shall then proceed west toward Wadi El Natrun, a silent desert valley boasting of ancient Coptic monasteries and spiritual heritage. During the drive, look out for calm desert vistas that starkly contrast with the urban pace of Alexandria.
Once there, visit a number of historic monasteries, each with its own architectural style and ancient traditions. Walk across their silent courtyards, admire their wonderfully painted frescoes, and learn about the beginnings of Christian monastic life that shaped that entire area. Your guide will be English-speaking, and he will give you detailed stories and backgrounds as you speak, so you will gain fuller appreciation of this remarkable place.
Enjoy a gourmet lunch with great entertainment prepared nearby while making sure to relax and admire the surroundings. Bottle waters will be served throughout the day to refresh you. After that join the smooth drive back to the Port of Alexandria with memories soaked in history, culture, and desert serenity.
