Some Of These Coptic Sites Include:

The Hanging Church

The most famous landmark among the Christian sites is the seventh-century Hanging Church. Once a Roman gatehouse, the decorated gate passes through a mosaic-lined courtyard before climbing a set of 29 steps to the church.

The flickering candles set before icons along the walls of the church symbolize that it is still an active place of worship.

The New Church

Built in the 19th century, the New Church is considered to be the newest and the largest of all the Egyptian churches. With twelve rooms and modern architectural elements, the only flaw in the church construction is the orientation. The Church is not completely directed towards the east and is therefore not used for prayers and offerings.

The Church Of St. Sergius and Bacchus

• The church dates back to the 5th Century.

The Church Of St. Barbara

• Shaped like the Roman Basilica, the church comprises three sanctuaries, two aisles, an entrance, a narthex and a nave located in the east wing of the church.
• Visitors can enter through a doorway to a rectangular hall from the southern sanctuary. It leads to a chapel devoted to St. Barbara. A doorway leads to the small church from the northern sanctuary.

The Church of St. Anthony

• The rectangular church from the 4th century divided into four sections is worth a visit. The sections are assigned separately for monks, priests, bishops and the elderly members of the church respectively.
