Sequence
We will pick you up from your hotel at around 4:00 a.m. The pick-up time may vary depending on the location of the hotel and the program. You will embark on a two-hour drive in a high-quality air-conditioned vehicle. Before you reach the St. Anthony Monastery, you will cross the heart of the desert.
More than 1,600 years ago, the hermit Anthony lived here in a cave on a 680-meter-high mountain. A staircase with around 1,000 steps leads you up to the cave.
There you can admire the old writings and drawings of Anthony and enjoy the fantastic view of the surrounding mountains, the desert and the sea.
Then we continue through the rugged valley to the St. Paul Monastery. The monastery was built over the cave of Saint Paul, a Christian hermit who died in the 4th century AD.
