The Heavenly Cathedral
Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt
Just minutes away from the familiar crowds of the coast, this is a well-kept secret tucked into the heart of the desert. Every time I gaze up at the ceiling frescoes of the Heavenly Cathedral—masterpieces born from years of meticulous labor—I experience the illusion of standing in a modern Sistine Chapel. I highly recommend not simply walking through like a tourist, but rather standing still amidst that immense art and serenity, truly savoring the moment.
The curator's note
Save your visit specifically for the late afternoon. As the sun begins to dip, the golden rays filtering through the stained glass breathe life into the frescoes, creating an absolutely flawless atmosphere. And as you step inside, don't forget to bring along a light, elegant linen shawl to drape over your shoulders
