Mons Porphyrites

The same as the Romans in the 1st century, you can live the charm of witnessing the precious white-and-purple crystalline stones in Mons Porphyrites. From this spot, the imperial grandeur of the Romans with its giant historical, precious buildings has launched. 

The porphyry extracted from these ancient quarries was used in the Temple of Venus in Rome, the Imperial Palace in Constantinople, and for sarcophagi and columns in the Roman temples of ancient Egypt.

You can immerse yourself in a majestic history, crossing through encampments, workshops, and temples of the Roman workers. Then, you can meet the wonderful precious white-and-purple crystalline stone. 

These stones were transported across the desert along the Via Porphyrites to the Nile. Then, they were shipped across the Roman world. Now, you can cross through this road while the great history surrounds you everywhere. That is how Mons Porphyrites takes you to a special, unique history.
