Madinat Wadi an Natrun Transportation

Although there are some people that swear that you can get to Wadi Natrun by public transportation, this is not entirely true. You can get to some nearby town by public transportation, but then you need a car with driver to head out to the different monasteries - and not all are next to each other. There's no eating facilities at the monasteries, either... so it is really worth it to pay some extra pounds to rent a car from cairo: you can then visit all the four monasteries, and be brought to the cairo-alexandria road for some food (the highway rest house is more than adequate)
