What makes Full-Day Private Wadi El-Natrun Monasteries and Museum Tour a unique experience ?
Al-Alamein Military Museum was founded on the 16th of December, 1956, when the late president Gamal Abd Elnasser ordered its establishment to commemorate Egypt’s fundamental role in one of the most important battles of World War II, the Al-Alamein battle, which broke out between the allies and the Axis Powers in October 1942. The museum witnessed development, renovation, and maintenance measures and was renewed on the 50th anniversary of the Al-Alamein battle on the 21st of October, 1992, and later went through other development measures including the set-up of an exhibitory display, to be reopened on the 21st of October, 2014. The Museum aims to document the Al-Alamein battle by introducing a group of weapons, armors, and models which symbolize Al-Alamein battles and the contributing forces, besides a group of battle course-of-action maps, as well as acquisitions of battle commanders.
Wadi El-Natron is located 100 km northwest of Cairo and is built in a natural depression in the western desert. The surrounding area consists of salt lakes and salt flats in the desert.
Wadi el Natron was very important to the ancient Egyptians because it was where they got their salt. It became even more important during the early Christian era in Egypt. Today it is the best place to find many monasteries dating back to the fourth century AD.
These Monasteries Are:
The Monastery of Deir Abu Makar ( st. Makarios)
The Monastery of Deir Anba bishoy ( St bishoi)
The Monastery of Deir EL Surian.
The Monastery of Deir EL Baramous.
