If you know anything about early church history, you know that there is a group known as the Desert Fathers. Mostly men, who retreated to the wilderness and desert to escape from this world and live a mostly ascetic existence.
Anyhow, they are an interesting bunch, and fascinating to read their testimonies.
I came across this article talking about a Monastery in Egypt that claims that their existence comes from these Desert Fathers. Fascinating, and I must say I would be interested to visit some day if I could.
The Monastery even has a website. Check it out!
