Egypt's Sacred Sites

Egypt’s religious landscape spans millennia, from the monotheistic revolution of Akhenaten at Amarna to the grand Greco-Roman temples of Nubia, such as Wadi es-Sebua and the Temple of Dakka. This collection features significant Christian landmarks like the 5th-century White Monastery and the modern Cathedral of the Nativity. Islamic heritage is represented by the 13th-century Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi Mosque in Alexandria and the remote desert shrine of Sufi leader Imam Shadhili.
