St. Anthony & St. Paul Monasteries Tour from Cairo

Escape the city and discover two of Egypt's most important Christian landmarks on a private day tour to the Monasteries of St. Anthony and St. Paul.

Located in the peaceful Eastern Desert near the Red Sea Mountains, these ancient monasteries have welcomed pilgrims and visitors for centuries and remain among the oldest active Christian monasteries in the world.

Travel in a private air-conditioned vehicle with a professional guide as you journey through the dramatic desert landscape to St. Anthony Monastery, founded in the 4th century and dedicated to Saint Anthony, widely regarded as the founder of Christian monasticism.

Explore its historic churches, ancient walls, peaceful courtyards, and remarkable religious heritage.

Continue to St. Paul Monastery, built near the cave where Saint Paul the Hermit is believed to have lived in solitude. Surrounded by rugged mountains, the monastery is renowned for its spiritual atmosphere, historic churches, and centuries-old traditions that continue today.

Enjoy a relaxing day filled with history, faith, and breathtaking desert scenery before returning comfortably to your hotel in Cairo.
