Wadi ElNatron which is in the eastern desert near the delta, is one of the prime attractions for the Christian religious tourist that comes to Egypt
Christianity reached Wadi El-natron with St. Macarius the Great who retreated there in C.330.Then the area became a sanctuary for Christians who were fleeing the systematic Roman persecution in the 4th century and there they started to develop a monastic order
The area was once flourished by tens of monasteries of which only four survived the time. This was to protect monks against the Berbers and Bedouins

Our guide will take you from your hotel in El-Behera to start your Coptic tour to Wadi Natron , you will start your tour by visiting the The Monastery of El Syrian
It was built by St. Beshoy in the sixth century. It was built to be dedicated to Virgin Mary. It has an interesting cave where St. Beshoy is said to have prayed with his hair tied with a chain to the roof to prevent him from sleeping. The monastery was acquired by Syrian monks at some time, this is why it gained its modern name “Al-Suryan” which means (the Syrians). The name is shortened from the monastery’s long name
