Masada

Masada is a spectacular ancient mountain fortress. Situated above the Dead Sea, Masada is the last stronghold of the Jews in the land for 2,000 years and the site of one of King Herod's magnificent palaces.

 

Whether we climb the mountain at sunrise, hike up the snake path or take the cable car, visiting Masada is an unforgettable experience.

 

The various sites on the mountain reveal stories of daily life in the desert in ancient times, expose the many facets of the personality of King Herod, and tell the story of heroism and zealotry of the Jewish People in their resistance against the Roman Empire.
