Today, most Copts, who make up about 10 percent of the population, live in Egypt. Within Egypt, they are most numerous in the middle Nile valley governorates of Asyūṭ, Al-Minyā, and Qinā. About a quarter of the total Coptic population resides in Cairo. The Coptic Orthodox Church is the principal Christian church in Egypt. There are also Coptic Orthodox churches in Jerusalem, other areas of the Holy Land, and a Coptic bishopric in Khartoum, Sudan. Additionally, there is a small Coptic presence in North America, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
