Monastery & Church of St. George

Cairo - Egypt

Mostafa took me to visit old churches in Cairo.
The origin of the monastery of St. George (Deir al-Banat),
located in Old Cairo, is obscure,
but it is believed that the foundation of the structure
dates from the seventh or eighth century.
Today, the monastery is actually home to between thirty and forty religious women.
