The Virgin Mary convent stands in Ruisi village of Kareli Municipality. The monastery is active and keeps its own rhythm.
Ruisi lies east of Kareli, on the plain by the Mtkvari valley. The village has long been known in the church history of Kartli, and the shrines of Urbnisi stand next door.
In a convent modest clothing and a headscarf are appropriate for women, and trousers with a sleeved shirt for men. Photography and attending services are best agreed with the sisters.
