Egypt-Wadi Natrun

Coptic monastery of Deir as-Suriani (monastery of the Syrians) dates from the 7th century. It is the smallest of Wadi al-Natrun but the most artistically actractive with the beautiful Holy Virgin church dating to the 7th century. The splendid fresco in Byzantine style, discovered only in 1991, represents the Annunciation with Mary and the Angel of God flanked by the prophets Ezequiel and Daniel (left) and Moses and Isaias (right).
