Masada Outside the City Review

Masada is a fortress in the judean desert situated on a hill looking at the dead sea. This place was the scene of the final judean resistance against the roman army.
The last 967 people remaining in the fortress before roman attack, once realised their only chance of living would be under roman control, they all, men women and children committed suicide. It is a very nice excursion from Jerusale as it takes you through the desert and the view from the fortress are really amazing. You can go up walking or with a funicular.
