Abu Mena is an old monastery and center of Christian Pilgrimage in Ancient Egypt is situated 45 kilometers southwest of alexandria, one of the popular destination of Egypt.

Abu Mena was first excavated from 1905 to 1907. In this excavation a large basilica church, an adjacent church that had been considered as the church that probably housed the remains of saint Mena’s remains and Roman baths. However the recent excavations discovered a large dormitory probably made for the poor people in Abu Mena.

Abu Mena is one of the oldest Christian sites of Egypt. Most of the public monasteries, buildings, houses, church, baptistery and workshops in Abu Mena were built over the crypt of the martyr Menas of Alexandria.

UNESCO listed the Abu Mena as world heritage site in Danger in 2001.
