wadi el-Natrun day trip

a trip to one of the epicenters of Egyptian Christianity, Wadi El Natrun. Out of scores of monasteries which once lined the valley, only four remain: Paromeos Monastery, the Monastery of St. Pishoy, the Monastery of St. Macarius the Great, and the Syrian Monastery. Visit them with a private guide and spare yourself the horrors of self-drive.
