Covering interests from historical, religious and natural beauty, the flat-topped mountain of Masada, with its 2,000 year old fortress, is a must-see on any tour of Israel. The fortress, used by the Israelites as a last stand-off against the conquering Roman army, is a symbol of human perseverance and religious strength. While the remains of the fortress have been well-preserved, it has been reconstructed in efforts to recreate the experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"x_1781920832font\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"x_1781920832size\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"x_1781920832font\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"x_1781920832size\"\u003eMasada's most impressive section is King Herod's Northern Palace, a structure built on three stone terraces overlooking the gorge below. Additional sites of interest with Masada's fortress are the synagogue, the ritual baths, the storerooms and watchtowers, each relating to the tragic historical event of Masada. Italian experts were even brought in to restore the mosaics and murals, ensuring their existence for years to come. Masada is based on the flat top of a steep mountain and can be reached by either the “snake path” or the cable car. A sunrise at Masada is an unforgettable experience which you will need to set out before dawn to complete this iconic feat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"x_1781920832font\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"x_1781920832size\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan class=\"x_1781920832font\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"x_1781920832size\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eEstimated time of tour: 2.5 - 4.5 hours\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Israel Extreme","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48176104636666,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/6603\/9802\/files\/1_0c633f50-3dda-495e-a385-2180fdedc2a6.png?v=1767272568","url":"https:\/\/israelextreme.tours\/products\/masada","provider":"Israel Extreme","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
