Journey on this full-day tour to visit the Red Sea Monasteries of St Anthony and St Paul, which are considered the oldest monasteries among the holiest sites in the Coptic faith.This private tour begins with an introduction to both the St Anthony & St Paul Monasteries and churches. Learn more about the holiest sites of Coptic faith dating back over 1600 years as the monasteries trace their origins to the 4th century AD. You'll travel from Cairo to the Red Sea coast over the course of three hours, with fresh open air the entire way. Once you reach both monasteries, you'll have more private time to explore the sites in own way: walk among the monasteries and practicing monks, see the monasteries gardens and plants, also see the Coptic art displayed. The free time is up to travelers in both Coptic sites; after the visits to both sites, lunch will be provided and then it's time to head back to Cairo.
