Ruins of convent in palm grove, Wady Feiran. Photographer: McDonald, James
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Landscape Photography
View looking across the bed of the wadi, towards the ruins of the monastery at the summit of the rocky hill on the far side: 'On the right bank of Wady Feiran, about a mile above the great convent [see print 16], there are the ruins of a smaller one covering the surface of a projecting rock; there is little more than a heap of rubbish, fallen walls, and broken pottery, and we could obtain no name, though it appears to have been called 'Kabegin' at the time of the Prefetto of Egypt's visit' (part I, p. 211).
