    You should definitely visit this church, while you stay in Sharm El Sheikh. It doesn't have tourists, and it's beautiful

    Please visit this place. It is very amazing and one the most beautiful church that I was in in my life. It is compared in style and luxury and painting to France or Rome so it is the world most beautiful league of churches. It is the best way to hire taxi and go by your own and stay more time there with children, there is many places to see and visit. Also 10 minutes walk on the right there is a catholic church. It is also worth to see it.

    I am blown away by this Cathedral. It's better than the Sistine Chapel and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

    This is the most beautiful Cathedral I have ever been to. This place is definitely worse to go to. Outside it looks interesting but nothing super special. However, when you are inside, the most beautiful place! I was there once and I hope to go there again. You definitely have to go there with a guide because this place has an interesting history.

    We went here with indonesian group during our trip to israel. Although it’s not the main sites in our itinerary list, it’s still good to visit.

    Wow, what a truly stunning and beautiful place. I'm only going to add a couple of photos as I don't want to take the breath taking beauty away as you walk in the door

    A truly heavenly place! But I didn't like the art in the Cathedral because it should have been Coptic art rather than what is there now.

    Amazing place to visit, one of the most beautiful places I've been to in Egypt, definitely worth a visit

  • 5/5 Guostė K. 4 months ago on Google
    One of the most beautiful pieces of art I've ever seen. 12 artists painted the interior of the building for 6 years. Very worth visiting.

  • 5/5 Bnai bat Z. 5 months ago on Google
    It’s a beautiful cathedral and it’s open 24 a day. I would recommend going to the piety shop to get some holy items such as icons and so on. Very peaceful and Christian place. ✝️🙏😇

    One of the nicest cathedrals I have ever been in.

  • 5/5 Graham H. 1 year ago on Google
    Truly amazing place our guide Mohammed's knowledge not only of the Cathedral but the history of it made the experience all the more pleasurable.

  • 5/5 Mohamed S. 1 year ago on Google
    The Heavenly Cathedral is Sharm’s newest and biggest Coptic church. Voted one of the world’s 10 most beautiful churches in 2010, when it was finished, it features impressive frescos and religious murals of Biblical scenes such as The Creation and The Exodus. Built in only two years, the cathedral is located in the Hay el Noor district, not far from the twin minarets of El Mustafa mosque. Prepare to be blown away by St John’s vision of The Apocalypse, which can be seen staring ominously down from the ceiling.

    Beautiful cathedral!

  • 5/5 Hanan S. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the most 10 Beautiful Churches in the World. The hand paintings and the exclusivity of the paintings depicting various Biblical persons like Adam, Moses, Noah, King David, and Jesus Christ. The stained Glass Windows, and the Gold colours of the ceiling is and walls around the icons, combined with the Brass decorations of the two main Barriers of the Church add super elegance and style to the place. The positive energy, and the calmness of the place cannot be missed by any visitor.

    Such a beautiful and breathtaking place to visit

  • 4/5 Lu N. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a beautiful place. One minus: they made you cover your body with some clothes they have at the entrance. It's not hygienic and dangerous during the COVID-19 pandemic.
