It is known what will happen next with the St. Catherine's Monastery in Sinai. Egypt and Greece have reached an agreement.

The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that Minister Badr Abdelatty received a letter from Archbishop Symeon confirming agreement on a contract. The official signing ceremony is scheduled for a mutually agreed date. The dispute over land ownership, which began in 2015, intensified after a 2025 court ruling affirming state ownership while distinguishing religious and archaeological sites. This raised concerns among Greek church circles regarding the monastery's future. The agreement aims to clarify the monastery's legal status and ensure its continued religious function while respecting Egyptian sovereignty. The St. Catherine's Monastery is a significant historical and religious site, attracting many tourists.
