  2. The monastery was given the name St Simeon by archaeologists and travelers, but earlier Arabic and Coptic sources called it Anba Hatre (Hidra, Hadri, Hadra), after an anchorite who was consecrated a bishop of Syene (now Aswan) by Patriarch Theophilus (385-412 AD). Anba Hatre married at the age of eighteen. Tradition says that just after the wedding, he encountered a funeral procession which inspired him to preserve his chastity and later become a disciple of Saint Baiman. After eight years of ascetic practices under the supervision of his teacher, he retired to the desert and applied himself to the study of the life of Saint Antony. He died during the time of Theodosius I.

About Aswan

Asuán, serena ciudad del sur de Egipto junto al Nilo: falucas entre islas de granito, aldeas nubias y orillas bordeadas de palmeras.

El Nilo está aquí en su momento más hermoso, interrumpido por rocas de granito e islas verdes. La isla Elefantina alberga ruinas de templos antiguos y coloridas aldeas nubias, la isla Kitchener está cubierta por un jardín botánico, y en la orilla oeste las Tumbas de los Nobles están excavadas en los acantilados de Qubbet el-Hawa, mientras que el mausoleo con cúpula del Aga Khan se alza sobre una colina del desierto más al sur.

Top-ranked sights in Aswan: Abu Simbel Temples, Philae Temple (Temple of Isis), Aswan High Dam.
