We visited Masada in the morning. This mountain fortress that seems impenitrable was the last holdout of the Jewish rebels in 74 AD. It fell to the Romans after they built a siege ramp from the valley to the wall of the city on top of the mountain. We took a cable car to the top of the mountain, but walked down along the siege ramp. It was a long and difficult hike.
We then headed for a Bedoin camp in the Negev desert. We enjoyed a long camel ride, lunch and a time of hearing of the Bedoin customs. Then, a long drive to Jerusalem.
Enjoying the Journey,
David
