St. Mark’s church, standing proud since 61 AD, is said to be oldest church in Africa. I don’t know. Egypt is still 10% Christian so it was nice to change it up from the typical beautiful mosque. It’s beautiful to stand inside a place that predates basically everything, including most countries, and feel the depth of Christian history here.
