Information and Review of the Euthymius Monastery

The ruins of this monastery (Laura) tell the story of Judean Desert nuns of the Byzantine era.

This spacious compound comprises an entrance gate, a courtyard, a burial structure (crypta), hermits’ cells, a chapel, a hostel, and aqueducts.

Visitors are advised to take a panoramic view of the Judean Desert Mountains from the shaded observation point, located next to a floor mosaic with geometrical patters.

The compound further contains a huge water reservoir that served the residents. Groups of 20 people or more should book in advance (visit our site); guided tours are available for a fee.
