Masada Fortress
Description:
The fortress of Masada is an ancient steep fort, located near the city of Arad.
2000 years ago, King Herod the Great made shelter for his family.
He improved the former building of the Hasmonean period.
Since Masada is located at an altitude of 450 meters, it offers beautiful views of the Dead Sea and the Judean Desert, which always attracts tourists.
Archaeologists have found many artifacts and ancient things, so it was decided to open a museum in one of the halls of the fortress.
To get to the fortress, you need to go along the Ein Gedi-Ein Bokek highway and climb the funicular.
