Day Trip to Mons Claudianus Roman Settlement means taking a different day of your tour in Hurghada, immersing yourself in great history, and roaming through a majestic Roman settlement and imperial stone quarry dating back to the 1st century.
Well-preserved ruins of ancient Egyptians’ houses, a temple, and other buildings take you to the daily life of quarrymen. You will live a great history and spend time as an ancient Egyptian in his world from a spot that was a unique precious quarry.
Here, about 1000 people from ancient Egypt lived from the 1st to the 3rd century. And you can live with them now, crossing through remnants of their buildings, including a bath, their workshops, stables, and even this unfinished temple that Hadrian was establishing.
From this quarry, the rare white-and-purple crystalline stones extended to be used in the Temple of Venus in Rome, the imperial palace in Constantinople, and sarcophagi, columns in the Roman temples, and other greatness of the Roman empire were built.
