Masada

Approaching Masada, a rock plateau mountain on the edge of the dead sea.

King David writes about "my rock & my Fortress". This translates as 'my masada'.

To get to the top, there are options:

If you like walking, you can take the snake path (named because of the way it zigzags up the mountain, like a snake)

That would have been a neat thing to do, but because of time constrictions we went through the air.

We started higher already, because the dead sea is 400 m below sea level - this is the lowest point on earth.

We had a beautiful view on top of Masada. Here we see the dead sea.
