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.

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.
