This is a must for travellers to Israel. Magnificent is an understatement, the history in Masada dates back thousands of years to Roman and King Herod times. The view from the top is marvelous, the guides are multi lingual, the tour is so very interesting. You can walk up the side of the mountain – only for the hardy – or grab the cable car. It's very hot, so take water and sun screen. All in all a very worthwhile adventure for all ages.
