Saint Catherine’s Monastery
Egypt’s ambassador to Greece, Omar Amer Youssef said on Wednesday that over 15 centuries, the Monastery of Saint Catherine has flourished as a remarkable symbol of peaceful coexistence in Egypt.
President Sisi’s remarks came in response to rumors—reported by Al Arabiya Net—alleging that Saint Catherine’s Monastery was being evacuated of its monks in preparation for its sale.
Sisi stated that the declaration “consolidates the deep and distinguished relations between our two friendly countries and establishes a new phase of close cooperation on all levels.”
A group of armed militants opened fire at a police checkpoint in Saint Catherine’s road, South Saini Wednesday midnight.
