Beautiful, impressive and special excursion - Visited the monasteries from El Gouna with obelisk travel. We visited the monasteries under the guidance of a good guide (from Obelisk Travel). Beautiful, impressive and special to visit these monasteries and hear the stories/history. We got a tour from the fathers. Well worth a visit.
