Sacred Sites and Religious Places in Egypt
Like most countries in this part of the world, Egypt has played a major role in religious history. Once the seat of the pharaohs and their search for immortality, Egypt later became a important center of Christianity - the practice of monastic seclusion is said to have originated here - followed by Islam. All across Egypt, you'll find rare religious sites to visit, including desert monasteries, ancient churches, and world-famous mosques. Listed below are those profiled by Nauterre so far.
