It's a rather big place, so set aside at least a few hours if you want to see everything. The descending from on foot takes about 45 mins, the terrain is not so difficult and a big experience.

Did you know that Masada was built on top of a flat rock plateau at the western end of the Judean Desert? Masada means “fortress” and it is approximately 1800 x 900 feet in size. Our passengers love!

Built by Herod, King of Judea, Masada was a palatial fortress in the style of the ancient Roman East.

A great stop on any tour of Israel. King Herod's winter palace.

If going up without a tour guide, do an audio tour. The ruins aren't as interesting without the back stories and color commentary. Cover your head to stay cooler from the sun.

Site opens an hour before sunrise, which gives you just enough time to hike up the Snake Path and view it from the top.

Head up and down the snake path if you're looking for a challenge.

Masada is UNESCO World Heritage Site.The fortress was the last stand of the Jewish rebels who rose against the Roman Empire in 66 CE. Check out the intricate water cisterns throughout the site!

Use sun screen! Or better yet, wrap yourself up in cloth like a Bedouin in the desert.

Top sightseeing in Israel with amazing history. You can hike there or take cableway (74 Shekel return ticket/pax). It’s huge, make sure, you have at least 2 hours, but you can spend whole day.

Awesome place!

Increíbles ruinas romanas en la cima de una montaña. Importante parte de la historia Judía. Hace bastante calor, se recomienda agua y algún gorro. Espectacular vista del Mar Muerto y el desierto.
