World Cultural Heritage Tour - Masada

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The thousand-year-old city of Masada is a holy place and spiritual fortress for the Jews It symbolizes the Jewish spirit of never giving up 2000 years ago, they were defeated by the Roman army. Nearly a thousand Jews committed suicide rather than surrender to the enemy To this day, new recruits to the Israeli army are taken here for training to develop a spirit of perseverance. We followed a local tour group from Tel Aviv to Masada and took the cable car to the top. People who like hiking can choose to walk on the trail, but there is no shelter along the way and it is really sunny, so be sure to wear a hat to protect yourself from the sun! After reaching the top, you can see the Dead Sea and Jordan on the opposite bank. There are more than 18 acres of ruins, and the well-preserved architectural relics include: ancient saunas and remaining mosaic tiles. What surprised me most was the advanced water supply system that directed water to a reservoir that could hold more than 40,000 cubic meters of water. The wisdom of the ancients is truly admirable. After visiting Masada, you can also have a simple meal there and visit Ahava outlet to buy Dead Sea mud skin care products.
