Begin your trip with Deir al-Baramus which is the oldest of the surviving 4 monasteries, and in many ways the most isolated.

    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.
