About this experience
West of the Nile stands the Coptic Monastery of St Simeon. Its ruins sit among sand and rock and offer a glimpse of monastic life in earlier centuries. The walls and rooms still reveal the layout of the complex.
The river crossing and the onward journey through the desert are part of the outing. It can be hot and the route may be tiring, so we discuss transport and timing beforehand. Other west-bank sights can be added if you wish.
