The Monastery of St. Jeremiah
Saqqara, near the Pyramid of Sekhemkhet
30 km Southwest of Central Cairo

The remains of the Monastery of St. Jeremiah are located to the east of the pyramid of Sekhemkhet in Saqqara. The monastery was founded during the 5th century and was destroyed 5 centuries later. The monastery was discovered in 1907 and many of the items uncovered where moved to the Coptic Museum in Cairo.

A tour of the remains of the monastery should be planned as part of the Memphis & Saqqara tour.
