    Beautiful Coptic Monastery named because of the colour of the stones of the outer walls. Remarkable icons and mosaics to be seen inside. Well worth the visit

    It needs restoration but love that place.Highly recommend visiting when in Egypt.The monastery is breathtaking. The history behind of every part of the building is fascinating. So happy we got the blessings of the monastery during our visit. You don't want to miss the opportunity to visit this place while in Egypt if you are interested in Coptology and ancient Christianity.

    The walls of the big church and its eastern threelobed apse, are what remains from this 5th century church. If you are interested in church architecture and early Christian relief art in Egypt, this is a good place to visit. Be aware that as soon as the police sees a foreign traveler in the region, e.g. at the railway station, they will want to escort you with five man or so, and not let you out of their sight as long as you are in the region. This church, by the way, is also visited for private prayer by locals.
