The monastery that I love love most. One of the oldest monasteries in the world of Saint Makarios the great. There are three main churches there (Saint Makarios , 49 martyrs and Saint Abaskhyron). It is also a very big monastery with large green areas. It was renovated by the late Fr. Matta Elmeskeen who was and still a spiritual leader and influencer for millions of the Christian people. The place is holy and very very quiet with strict rules regarding visits.

St. Macarius Monastery is the oldest in the world. It is in the western desert, on the Cairo Alex Road., around 80 km. Away from Cairo towards the north west. Was established during the 4th century, and existed ever since. There are churches that are 16 centuries old, and others 11 centuries old, and others a bit newer. The place has very rate building styles and domes. This Monastery us one of a kind, and a must visit for any Christian.
