St Elijah Chapel is the most recent construction of St. Anthony Monastery, and in my view this is the most beautiful one. However, it is very easy for tourists to miss this chapel. First, the chapel is located outside the entrance. When I was approaching the monastery, many vehicles passed the chapel and went straight to the main entrance. At that time I was the only person stopping by the chapel because I had done my homework and knew about this chapel prior to the trip. Second, perhaps because St Elijah Chapel is a new building, this is not on the map provided by the monastery. There were many tourists in other chapels, but I was alone in St. Elijah.
