Interior of the Convent of Saint George (Mar Girgis) chapel in Coptic Cairo, showing a pointed arch sanctuary framing a tall Byzantine-style icon depicting Saint George slaying the dragon, surrounded by smaller saints' medallions. Wooden pews line a central aisle leading to the altar area, with traditional Mashrabeya (مشربية) wooden lattice windows flanking the walls. The Convent of Saint George is one of the oldest active Christian convents in Egypt, located in the historic Coptic quarter of Old Cairo, and remains an important pilgrimage and spiritual site for Coptic Orthodox Christians.
