Highlights
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
