Your private guide will explain the meaning of the site in Coptic Christianity.

2. Next, drive south for half an hour or so to the Monastery of Saint Anthony, the oldest monastery in Egypt and one of the oldest monasteries in the world. Established in the fourth century AD, it's home to several striking churches, a library, and the tiny cave where Saint Anthony lived as a hermit. It's still a working monastery where Egypt's Coptic Christians come for religious retreats.

About Hurghada

Hurghada er en badeby ved Det Røde Hav på Egyptens fastlandskyst, elsket for koralrev, varmt vand, ørkenudflugter og nemme badedage.

Byen strækker sig langs kysten, fra det ældre kvarter El Dahar med sin souk og fiskemarked til marinaen ved Sakkala og resortstrimlen mod syd. Ud for kysten vrimler Det Røde Havs rev og øer med farverige fisk og koralhaver, og af og til ses delfiner, hvilket gør snorkling og dykning til de vigtigste attraktioner.
