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.

Don't forget the cap on your head and a bottle of water when visiting

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

Fantastic view over the northern and southern parts of the Dead Sea

Don't miss the sunrise ! Better to get here by 4:40am! Climb all the way up for stunning view ! Cheers!

Look for their cultural events that take place at night. Amazing

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

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.

Don't miss the sunrise ! 5:30 am! Better to get here by 4:40am! Enjoy ;)

What a beautiful view .

Drink lots of water, bring sun screen, and take your time to appreciate this place

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

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!

Snake trail before dawn to see the sunrise .

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

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.

Best part of Israel for me I loved every minute of it.

Awesome place!

The view is splendid!

The history and the scenery

After the major success of the last two years, the Israeli Opera Festival at Masada will be held this June, 2012! Fly EL AL for special benefits http://bit.ly/y5Lsgh
