The 11 Best Things to See and Do in Israel

"Perched on a plateau 100 km south of Jerusalem on the Dead Sea's edge, the Herodian fortress of Masada is famed as the refuge of Jewish rebels besieged by Rome in 73 CE and today is a potent symbol of Israeli determination; you can reach the site by cable car or hike the Snake Path (60–90 minutes) for sunrise views over Jordan, but be prepared for extreme heat in summer and occasional trail closures, and note practical details like park hours (open daily from 8am until roughly 3pm–5pm), an admission fee of $9 USD, and a roughly 90-minute drive from Jerusalem. " - Matthew Kepnes
