Day Tour Monasteries to Wadi Natrun from Alexandria

EgyTopia representative will meet you at your hotel to start your spiritual tour to Wadi El-Natrun monasteries. Christianity started in Egypt by St. Mark when Egypt was under the Roman control. The new religion was rejected by the majority of the natives as it was against the beliefs of the population back then. By the time, the Romans started persecuting those who converted to the new religion who later on built monasteries taking them as shelters away from the Romans in deep desert.  According to many researchers, there were a maximum number of 50 monasteries, only 4 of them still exist. There, you learn more about the origin of monasticism which then spread when Christianity became one of the main religions in Egypt by the 4^th century. You will listen to many stories about the life of the people there and many miracles happened for the saints and monks.

After you finish this heart catching tour, our representative will escort you back to your hotel.
