Khan al-Ahmar

Khan al-Ahmar, hidden away in the small industrial area of Mishor Adummim along the Jerusalem - Jericho road, is the monastery of Euthymius, one of the most important Judean monasteries of the Byzantine period. At the core of the monastery, a probably the oldest surviving part, is the crypt in which Euthymius himself was buried.

Take a visit to Khan al-Ahmar and get a glimpse of early monastic Christianity.
