Abstract: From the Christian primitive eras, many Monasteries and Churches were built in different Egyptian cities to the Coptic Martyr Merkourios ᾿Abī᾿l-Sifain Philopatōr, who is one of the most important Saints in the Coptic Orthodox Church until the present day. One of these archaeologically significant Monasteries is the one located in Tammūh at Gizah. This Monastery was described by many historians. Moreover, several travellers, rulers, viziers and senior officials visited it, as it was considered as one of the most beautiful parks through the different historical periods. Today, this ancient Coptic Monastery located in the western bank of the Nile consists of five different Churches, services’ buildings, and an open courtyard including a garden and surrounded by a recent enclosure wall.
