Beautiful architecture and polished landscaping. It's a lovely visit with a unique cultural experience. Please be advised men need to wear long sleeves and pants. Women need to wear long skirts, a long sleeve shirt (cartigans or sweaters that dont button or zip up fully don't count) and a scarf over their head. The volunteers at the entrance are very helpful and will borrow you clothing if need be.

It felt like being transported to a different world. Before you write more, be mindful of what you are wearing. Women prior to visiting should wear long skirts till their feet and long sleeved shirts. Also carry a scarf to cover your head. If you are not dressed appropriately, you will be offered shirts and skirts. There is one church and 4 chapels in the compound. The place is very spiritual and peaceful. There are a lot of palm trees and a few fountains which truly makes this place a desert Oasis.

Such a peaceful walk through the grounds. Greek or Romanian design chapels amid lush gardens. An oasis in the middle of the desert. We've been several times. Dress code, check website.
