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 dont want to miss the opportunity to visit this place while in Egypt if you are interested in Coptology and ancient Christianity.

Its an old monastery, founded on older Egyptian temple, named white due to the color of the stones of it. 14th July is the annual start of visiting season

An ancient place you have to go to see the beauty

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

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.

The White Monastery, one of the most important and famous Coptic monuments in Egypt, and the most important tourist monasteries in Sohag Governorate, was adopted by Dr. Khaled Al-Anani, and the necessary measures were taken to start restoration work for some sites inside it, as the monastery is located in the southwest of the city of Sohag.Outside the temple, the murals on the three cap of the temple date from the eleventh and twelfth centuries AD, but the drawings of the northern cap are no longer available, and these images were executed by a photographer named “Theodore” (1076 to 1124 AD), as indicated by the inscriptions of this church, and we see in The main eastern apse cap, depicting Christ the Pankator.As for the inside of this apse arch, it was decorated with the image of the Virgin, accompanied by John, the Baptist and some archangels, and John the Baptist, who baptized the “Nasrone” of Jesus Christ. The inside of the southern cap was decorated with a huge cross inside a circle, a cross with a sash. We also see the Virgin and John the Baptist.As for the inside of the necklace of this cap, it is decorated with circles coherent with memes, and inside it there are busts depicting some of the messengers, as well as decorative motifs.
