Saint Anthony's Monastery ( Deir Mar Antonios )

Saint Anthony's Monastery is an Orthodox Coptic monastery located in the Eastern Desert of Egypt, in the southern part of the Suez Governorate.

It was founded by the followers of Saint Anthony the Great, an early Christian monk. The monastery is one of the most prominent in Egypt and has had a strong influence in shaping many Coptic institutions, as well as fostering monasticism in general. Several patriarchs have emerged from the monastery, and it is visited daily by hundreds of pilgrims.
In 2002, the Egyptian government initiated an 8-year project worth $14.5 million to renovate the monastery. The modern monastery is a self-contained village with gardens, a mill, a bakery, and five churches. Today, it has become a popular destination for Egyptians, offering spiritual retreats for Egyptian Christians as well as family outings.

We took a ride in the village of Slavia, but I couldn't find an option to review this activity
Because it is temporary so I found this company on the Internet, customer service staff is good, but the only US is not enough is that he can only brush cards online can not pay cash, hope to have the option of paying cash

We had a great afternoon
Leading our guide Ahmed people are good, we because of the previous trip delayed time, let him wait for us a while on the boat, up to the boat to discover the entire boat only us, he also gave us water and drinks, we saw the sunset on the boat to take pictures very carefully, the road Ahmed like we told the surrounding view, some understand some not understand, but this is the charm of travel
Finally arrived at the place where Ahmed was very good to support us in the upper edge, the youth who carried the rope was also reassured to give us, but there was no stubborn edge in the back of the supervision, on the road we would run for a while and walk very self-sufficient, in his body we were afraid and excited, and finally walked into the village of slavery, we went to eat slavery bread with black sugar and adult food, that servant and our soy milk taste super like soy milk, also drank black tea, because Arab coffee is interested so we also tried, the taste is very special. Finally we went to the school in Slavia for a class, really a classroom, we quickly learned some Arabic and Slavic, really too hard, but very happy, if not to rush back and gather, really want to slow down the whole village
