Monasteries of Saint Anthony and Saint Paul

Monasteries of Saint Anthony and Saint Paul is a private cultural journey planned at a calm, easy-to-follow pace for your group. Instead of merely naming places, this programme explains what you can actually experience at each stage.

The route connects Monastery of Saint Anthony, Monastery of Saint Paul and Eastern Desert. Travel is planned using a private air-conditioned vehicle, with the pace, breaks and order shaped around the stated duration and starting point.

What you experience on this journey

• Early monastic life at Saint Anthony’s. Visit the walled monastery, see historic churches and learn how early Christian monastic life developed in the desert.
• Saint Paul’s desert monastery. Explore the remote mountain monastery and learn about Paul the Hermit and life in this desert community.
• Cross the vast Eastern Desert. Leave the coast behind and experience open plains, mountain ranges and the changing colours of the Eastern Desert.

What the travel day feels like

The programme combines guided experiences with realistic transfer time. At the principal stops there is room for clear explanations, personal impressions and photographs. Longer drives, flights or sailing stages are treated as part of the day so the route remains easy to understand.

Preparation and comfort along the way

We agree the pickup, meeting point, party size and preferred language with you in advance. Please also tell us the children’s ages, any reduced mobility and dietary needs so the vehicle, breaks and pace can be prepared appropriately.

How the route becomes your personal excursion

We arrange the stages logically, allow realistic travel time and leave space for explanations, photographs and necessary breaks. Multi-day journeys are divided into practical daily sections.

Important: The order and individual visits may change because of opening times, weather, flight or sailing schedules. Entry tickets, meals, accommodation and other services apply only when expressly confirmed in your personal Nebu offer.
