It is a quiet monastery nestled within the desert cliffs and dates back to the 4th century AD.

The complex also includes the Fortress Tower, which was used for the protection of monks inside the monastery. Besides, there is a beautiful garden with a water spring that resembles the garden of St. Anthony's Monastery.
