this church is known as the place where the Holy family departed from the pursuit of King Herod. We have to walk a little way if we want to go to this church. Along the way there are books and papyrus leaves painted for sale....More
I was on my way to the airport, when by some inexpert way one of my companions decided to stop and go to see the oldest church in Egypt. He is Arab so I did not expect to see a Christian church, to my surprise,...More
