Masada
Beginning day 2 with our tour of Masada! Whether you bravely make your way up the snake trail or take the scenic gondola, once you reach the top the view is breath taking. It’s amazing to be able to walk through the ruins of this once mighty fortress build by Herod the Great in 37 BCE. Very grateful for this incredible experience.

The summit of Masada sits 190 feet (59 m) above sea level and about 1,500 feet (470 m) above the level of the Dead Sea. The mountain itself is 1950 feet (610 m) long, 650 feet (200 m) wide, 4,250 feet (1330 m) in circumference, and encompasses 23 acres. The “Snake Path” climbs 900 feet (280 m) in elevation. From the west, the difference in height is 225 feet (70 m).
