On est arrivé assez tôt pour avoir le bonheur de bénéficier de la tranquillité originelle du lieu.
Notre guide nous avait expliqué l'arrivée de toutes les religions en Egypte. Nous étions préparés à suivre la visite commentée par les moines. Ces moines sont également des monuments, érudits et pleins d'humour. La visite de la grotte de l'ermite ajoute une part sportive à l' excursion
Un souvenir inoubliable. Merci à tous
