The Holy Lavra of Saint Sabbas the Sanctified, known in Arabic as Mar Saba, is an Eastern Orthodox Christian monastery overlooking the Kidron Valley at a point halfway between the Old City of Jerusalem and the Dead Sea, within the Bethlehem Governorate of the Palestinian West Bank.

The traditional date for the founding of the monastery by Sabbas the Sanctified of Mutalaska, Cappadocia is the year 483. Today, the complex houses around 20 monks. It is considered to be one of the oldest inhabited monasteries in the world, and still maintains many of its ancient traditions.

The Mar Saba is a Greek Orthodox monastery founded in 483 AD. It can only be visited by men, but is also really worth seeing from the outside.
