Sacred Sites in Egypt



Like most countries in the Middle East, Egypt has played a major role in religious history. Once the seat of the pharaohs and their famous 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 and fascinating religious sites to visit, including desert monasteries, ancient churches, and world-famous mosques. Below is an illustrated index of the sacred sites and religious places in Egypt profiled so far on Sacred Destinations, listed in alphabetical order by name. Please note this list is far from comprehensive - many more great sites remain to be added. You can also view these sites on an interactive map.
