Coptic Tour Culture   about 50 USD

It will be with the greatest of pleasure to introduce and present to you My Coptic Culture and background in Aswan!  This tour is not so well known but deserves to be because in my city, you should consider one of the main sources for Coptic heritage and monuments. I am proud of my culture and I can take you on an unforgetable tour in and around our Coptic Islands.

 You have 2 options to go there : by air conditioned car or by boat  (include for the both  in the price of 50 USD).

In morning : I will escort you by air conditioned car to take the motor boat to sail across the Nile River then if you want its optional : take a camel ride in the desert on your way (15 USD more) or by walking 30 minutes in the desert to one of the best Coptic attractions in Egypt the Monastery of St. Simeon which is located on the opposite side of Elephantine Island. It was constructed during the 7th century and renovated during the 10th century. The monastery was originally dedicated to Anba Hadra who renounced the world on his wedding day and became a monk. The structure is surrounded by desert sand, it's built on two levels – the lower level of stone and the upper level of mud-brick – surrounded by 10m-high walls.
