Monasteries of St. Anthony and St. Paul’s are the oldest monasteries in Christianity. Its origins
can be traced back to the 4th century. These two monasteries are considered the
most sacred site of the Coptic Church in Egypt.
The Monastery of Saint Anthony
is a Coptic Orthodox monastery in an oasis in the Egyptian desert, founded in
361 AD by the followers of Saint Anthony.
The monastery is
one of the most famous in Egypt. Vineyards and palm groves are lovingly laid
out here. The heart of the complex is the Apostolic Church with 12 domes. The
grotto of St. Anthony is located outside the monastery and can be reached by a
steep path. We continue our exploration tour, driving around the mountain
range. On the way to St. Paul’s Monastery, we will stop at a good restaurant to
relax and have a delicious lunch.
The monastery of St. Paul was built by hermits in the 4th century. Saint Paul
lived alone with God in a cave for 90 years.
