Dolina Kerit
Kerit Valley (Kerit Gorge) - According to the Biblical account of the Book of Kings 17, 2-7 - the valley of the creek on the east side of the Jordan (presumably in present-day Jordan). According to this account, the biblical prophet Elias hid here after Ahab, the king of the northern kingdom of Israel, announced the coming of the drought. At that time he was fed by crows - birds considered by the Jews to be unclean.
The experience of Elijah in this valley is interpreted as a model of the hermit life of monks.
