Delightful Morning

Published on May, 2024

Our morning with Ammar was delightful, starting out with a pleasant boat ride across the Nile as he explained the history of the area. We greeted with two camels to journey us up to the Monastery, which was a treat. Be sure to have water as it is quite warm. The views from the monastery are breathtaking and the monastery construction is amazing!

High Priority Trip

Yosra was a blast! We laughed a lot on our camel journey and enjoyed exploring the Monastery. A must when visiting the beautiful Aswan!
