Luxor: in the middle, departure early in the morning, return to the hotel at night
but more precisely, the time depends on the distance of the hotel from the collection point of all buses

The excursion to the monasteries starts at 1 am. In the morning they come to the cell of St. Anthony, then the monastery itself. They will give you cakes and water. Then they are taken to the monastery of St. Paul. The trip left a very negative impression. A year before that, I had been to St. Catherine in Sinai and simply recharged from a prayerful place. And in the monastery of St. Anthony, we were met by a monk who constantly tried to cling to some young girl. In the monastery shop they sell Chinese consumer goods and are very offended that they do not buy. I bought an icon with the face of St. Anthony, which later turned out to be a piece of an inaccurately carved calendar in a Chinese frame. In the monastery of St. Paul, we first got into the refectory of the pilgrims, which resembled a pigsty and smelled the same there. Then none of the monks came out to us for an hour and a half, because they were having lunch.
Finally, our guide from Teztur, by the way, a Copt, gave our gullible fellow citizens honey and olive oil !, allegedly grown in the monastery of St. Anthony. mountains" and did not want to communicate with me anymore. (continued next letters were not enough)

At the end of the tour, we were brought to Hurghada (about 17-00) to a restaurant for lunch or dinner, and the guide ran away, apparently, and bought Abushara (a market in Hurghada) and bought it for those who gave money for purchases. Moreover, he said that it was a monk for him brought everything from the monastery! In general, maybe our group was so lucky, but I had an unpleasant aftertaste from the trip, like a big deception.
