Deir al-Baramus which is the oldest of the surviving 4 monasteries, and in many ways the most isolated, then proceed to visit

Anba Makar, it is also called 

Anba Makaryus Monastery, Anba Makaryus was probably the first Monastery in Wadi El-Natrun, it has more than 100 monks and 600 workers in the extensive farm which spreads in front of it. Then proceeds to 

Deir Anba Bishoi whose body is still in the monastery. End your trip visiting 

Deir El-Suryani which is the smallest and most compact of the 4 monasteries.
