Bawit

Bawit is an archaeological site located north of Asyut, near the village of Dashlout, in Egypt. It houses a cemetery and the ruins of the Hermopolite Monastery of Apa Apollo founded by Saint Apollo in the late 4th century. The structures on this site are relatively well preserved, and demonstrate different aspects of a monastic complex of Middle Egypt.
