Wadi El-Natrun , is located on the northeastern outskirts of the Egyptian Western Desert, about halfway along the desert road linking Cairo and Alexandria. The city had a great position in Pharaonic times to extract from it natron salt, which was used to embalm the dead, and also acquired the status of sanctification in Christianity due to the passage of the Holy Family with her.

Wadi El-Natrun borders to the north the Abu al-Matamir Center and the Badr Center, and to the east is the city of Sadat, while the center of al-Hammam is located in the Matruh Governorate, west of this depression, and finally to the south of it is the city of the Sixth of October.
This area called Wadi Al-Natroun was of great importance during the era of the Pharaohs, as the salt was extracted from this land and called the salt of the Natron known scientifically as sodium bicarbonate. Hooker, salt field, and other such names.

of Syrian, until the number of monasteries reached 700 monasteries in the valley until they started shrinking to now only four monasteries, while the rest were lost, so the valley is considered one of the most important sacred areas for followers of the Egypt Coptic Orthodox Church.
Tourism in Wadi El-Natrun is concentrated in many Coptic monuments, where monasticism began in small villages engraved in the hills, then natural conditions were imposed on the hermits to set up converging complexes, and from here began the idea of gathering inside monasteries to protect from barbaric raids, as internal fortresses were established in each monastery and they are still A list exists so far, and a large number of Christians have taken refuge in it to escape the grievances of the Romans. After the Islamic conquest of Egypt, monks and Natron came to the Arab leader, Amr ibn al-Aas, so he insured them on their lives and the freedom of their worship and took it upon himself to provide them with what they needed.
Lake Hamra or Ayoub's well as its people call it attracts visitors for medical tourism because it is distinguished by its high salinity and its healing properties specifically for patients with skin diseases..and this lake is located in the middle of the desert road linking the cities of Alexandria and Cairo in the Wadi Natrun region.
The arid desert embraces that lake, which is characterized by extreme salinity. In the middle of this lake, an eye bursts out from which a source of the sweetest and most healthy food with a miraculous ability to heal skin diseases explodes. As a result of the flow of this sweet water on this extremely salty spot, a brilliant colored gradient plate is formed, announcing the power of the Creator.

The most significant monasteries in the region of Wadi El Natrun:
- Monastery of Anba Bishoy:
The Monastery of Anba Bishoy is the largest of the monasteries in Wadi El Natrun. This monastery is named after Anba Bishoy, a disciple of Anba Macarius.
-Monastery of Baramous:
The name of Baramous Monastery goes back to Saints Maximus and Domatius of Rome, two Roman fathers of the fourth century AD.
-Monastery of Abu Macarius
-Monastery of the Virgin Mary of the Syrians
The Monastery of the Virgin Mary of the Syrians is one of the four monasteries remaining in Wadi El Natrun in the Western Desert of Egypt, and it is also the smallest.
This monastery was found in the sixth century AD and was first called “Our Lady of Anba Bishoy” as some monasteries with a double name had been established. The monks established a church next to each main monastery.
The Holy Family (the Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ, and Joseph the Carpenter) moved from the city of Sakha in Kafr El Sheikh Governorate to the Wadi El Natrun desert in Beheira Governorate... There was a Jewish community in the Natria area of the desert, where there was a Jewish temple in that area in the first century of the Roman era; therefore, the Holy Family headed there.
The Holy Family wanted to drink after the arduous journey in the Wadi El Natrun desert, so they went to Lake (Nabaa El Hamra) in the valley, that lake whose waters are considered the saltiest in the world after the Dead Sea. A fresh water spring sprang up in the middle of the salty waters of that lake, and that spring still exists today in the middle of the lake, and is suitable for drinking from it.
