Itinerário

1. Grab forty winks in your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle after you leave Hurghada at 3:30am for the 3-hour drive north to Saint Paul Monastery. Set against the dramatic cliffs of the Eastern Desert plateau, the monastery is home to caves, where the hermit Saint Paul lived, as well as churches covered with stunning frescoes. Your private guide will explain the meaning of the site in Coptic Christianity.

   2 h

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, estância do Mar Vermelho no Egito, é apreciada pelos recifes de coral, água quente, excursões no deserto e dias de praia descontraídos.

A cidade estende-se ao longo da costa, do bairro mais antigo de El Dahar, com o seu souk e mercado de peixe, à marina de Sakkala e à faixa de resorts a sul. Ao largo, os recifes e as ilhas do Mar Vermelho fervilham de peixes coloridos e jardins de coral, e por vezes avistam-se golfinhos, o que faz do snorkeling e do mergulho os principais atrativos.
