Monastery of St. Simeon, Aswan Overview

One of Aswan's ancient archaeological sites, the Monastery of St. Simeon is among Egypt's most historical and well-preserved domed, oblong churches. It is also known as the Anba Hatre Monastery and is a well-known Bakhmi monastery that played a significant social role in the history of Nubian culture. You can hire a felucca or a boat, or take a camel ride to get here.

It was built in the seventh century. It still stands for the brotherhood between Islams and Christians from the past. It is closely located to other important sites like the Monastery of St. Hedra, the Aga Khan Mausoleum, and the Tombs of the Nobles.
