Holy stations
along the path
Priority sites
Phase One
Al Masar leads the first phase of developing the Holy Family Trail in Egypt, focused on ten priority stations — from the Church of the Virgin in Mostorod and the Tree of Mary in Mataria, to Abu Serga and Haret Zuweila in Cairo, through Wadi El Natrun and Gabal El Teir, and on to the monasteries of Assiut and the revered Al-Muharraq.
At each site we clear encroachments that obscure the churches, pave approach roads, and build the rest houses, hotels, clinics, parking, and visitor services needed to welcome pilgrims and preserve a living heritage for generations to come.

Ten living stations across Egypt where, according to Coptic tradition, the Holy Family rested on their flight. Each is a working place of prayer today — churches, monasteries, a sacred tree, and a holy spring still drawing pilgrims.
