You will also indulge in a spiritual experience at the Jesuit Center. For another outdoor adventure, the scenic view on the road from the new monastery to the old monumental one is a hiking opportunity not-to-be missed. Bring your excavation gear along for a journey to unlock the secrets of the marble city that is about to unfold. You will also get a dip into the charming mix of Bedouin and rustic life in Marriott, along with an authentic feel of the farming and fishing life in the region.
The program also comprises an excursion of the fascinating Edku Lake on fishing boats, while getting acquainted with the types of fish popular in the region, as well as the day-to-day life activities of the locals. Among other things, you will visit the famous river-mouth city of Rosetta, where nature and history blend in a unique medley.
On the green surface of Edku Lake, you will immerse into a memorable excursion of the fishermen's daily life. As you explore the Nile Pearl and the Rosetta Fort, whose discovery enabled decoding the Hieroglyphs, you will also explore various sites of the ancient Egyptian civilization and the immortal heritage it left for us to wonder at. For an extra sprinkle of enlightening experiences, you will watch the crafty business of ship building and the Nile’s estuary after such a long journey it embarks on from its origins in central Africa. The box of secrets of the offbeat marble city in Marriott is waiting for you to unlock. You will also redefine hiking as you ramble through the green fields of Borg Al Arab.
