St. John in the Desert Monastery
Holy Places
Picturesque Franciscan monastery located on a cliff overlooking Nahal Sorek and the Ein Kerem valley.
Christians here identify the desert mentioned in the description of John the Baptist, and hence its name.
The monks produce and sell wine, honey and spiced vinegar.
