The Monastery of Anba Shenouda, the chief of the autistic, or as it is known as the White Monastery, is located in Sohag, Upper Egypt, and includes several churches and attached buildings.
The Monastery of Saint Catherine is located in South Sinai, Egypt, at the foot of Mount Catherine, the highest mountain in Egypt, near Mount Moses. It is said that it is the oldest monastery in the world, and is considered a major tourist attraction, as it is visited by tourist groups from all parts of the world, and it is isolated, administered by the head of the monastery and he is the Bishop of Sinai, and who is not subject to the authority of any patriarch or holy council, but has close ties with the Patriarch of Jerusalem. The name of the Patriarch of Jerusalem is mentioned in the liturgy, despite the fact that the guardianship of the monastery was for long periods of the Russian Orthodox Church, and the monks and priests of the monastery were Greeks and not Arabs or Egyptians, just as the bishops of the Greek Orthodox Church in Jerusalem, which was controlled by the Greeks for long periods. The Bishop of Sinai manages, in addition to the monastery, the churches and holy shrines in South Sinai in the Al-Tur region, Ferran Oasis, and Tarfa.
