Masada National Park

Masada National Park is a fascinating place where history comes alive against the backdrop of breathtaking desert landscapes. This ancient fortress, built by King Herod the Great, was the last bastion of Jewish rebels during the Jewish-Roman War.

As you explore the park, you'll discover an impressive water collection system that allowed residents to survive for up to three years, two palaces, Roman baths with frescoes and a Jewish mikvah.

Watch the ibexes and starlings of Tristram while admiring the perfectly preserved Roman siege installations - the best preserved of their kind in the world.
