This monastery was founded in the 5th century. In XII, it was destroyed by Turkish troops, but in the late XIX – early XX centuries it was completely restored. It is located on a small ledge of a steep cliff, and you can get to it either on foot or a donkey ride for a small fee. This is a man’s monastery, and before women were not allowed in, but now the situation has changed. Travelers are welcome in the Monastery - monks can even treat visitors with their own juices. In the rock itself there are many abandoned cells, where hermit monks once lived.

In the place where Jesus was tempted by the devil, in the Judean desert on Mount Karantal (aka Forty-Day Mountain), there is a male Orthodox Greek Temptation Monastery, which is a popular tourist destination.
The monastery is not afraid of weather disasters, since it is almost completely located directly inside the mountain. Inside the monastery there is a special atmosphere - it is always cool and twilight reigns, in addition, the monastery has many icons of different centuries, as well as altars and crosses. The most important shrine of the monastery is a stone, on which, as is commonly believed, Jesus prayed.
Today, a Greek monk lives in the monastery.
The path to the monastery takes about 25 minutes on foot along a narrow winding path. However, a fairly long road up does not scare tourists - they come to see the sights from around the world.
