Your private guide will explain the meaning of the site in Coptic Christianity.

St. Anthony's Monastery (Deir Mar Antonios)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.

It's still a working monastery where Egypt's Coptic Christians come for religious retreats.
