Itinerary

Day 1

Detailed Itinerary: Camel Ride & St. Simeon (Anba Hatre) Monastery

Camel Journey: Your tour begins with a guided camel ride heading toward the southern tip of Elephantine Island in the Aswan desert.
Exploring the Monastery: Arrive at St. Simeon’s Monastery, one of the best-preserved Christian fortress monasteries in Egypt. Your guide will explain how the site, originally built in the 7th century, is historically named after Anba Hatre—a 4th-century hermit who embraced monastic life after his wedding, studied Saint Antony's teachings, and eventually became Bishop of Aswan.
Hotel Return: After touring the monastery grounds, your tour guide will escort you safely back to your hotel in Aswan.
