The Mar Saba Monastery is a Greek Orthodox monastery which overlooks the Kidron Valley in Bethlehem, Israel. The site is halfway between Bethlehem & the Dead Sea & is considered one of the oldest continuously inhabited monasteries in the world.

The smallest desert of the world, an off road journey from the Dead Sea to Jerusalem, published by the Swiss magazine Azione. For many years I dreamed to see the Orthodox monastery of Mar Saba, one of the oldest of the world. A place so far from the world on a wild canyon between Jericho and Jerusalem. #judeandesert #marsabamonastery #onassignment #bbctravel #cnntravel #huffpostgram #landscape #nikon #travelphotography #travelmagazine #natgeo #awesomeplace #architecture #monastery #orthodoxchurch #letsgosomewhere #instagood #cave #travelphotography #travelmagazine #photoshelter #en_martin https://www.instagram.com/p/CYB1WTfs_Fr/?utm_medium=tumblr
