Just a few minutes from the Jerusalem-Dead Sea highway, St. George's Monastery awaits amid a spectacular biblical desert where Christian monks maintain their ancient way of life. St. George's Monastery began in the fourth century with a few monks who sought the desert experiences of the prophets, John the Baptist and Jesus and settled around a cave where they believed Elijah was fed by ravens (1 Kings 17:5-6).The sixth-century cliff-hanging complex, with its ancient chapel and gardens, is still inhabited by a few Greek Orthodox monks.
