-THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE-

Saint George's Monastery, nestled into the cliffs of Wadi Qelt in the West Bank desert of Palestine, 🇵🇸 was founded in the 5th century CE during the Byzantine era. Built along a deep gorge that runs through the rugged terrain between Jerusalem and Jericho, this ancient monastery has been a sanctuary for Christian hermits and monks for over 1,500 years.

The structures appear to emerge from the rock face itself, clinging precariously to the steep cliffside. The natural stone blends seamlessly with the man-made architecture—arches, domes, and bell towers that reflect both spiritual devotion and architectural ingenuity. Palm trees and greenery flourish below in stark contrast to the barren sandstone walls above.

Here, time seems to stand still. The silence of the desert envelops the monastery in an aura of peace and mystery. What prayers were whispered in these caves, and what secrets do the cliffs still keep hidden in their folds?
