Masada is a fortress standing on the top of a hill, over 400 m above the shores of the Dead Sea. I admit that I imagined this place a bit differently, but the reality surpassed my wildest expectations. The view from the top is breathtaking, no matter which side you look. Sightseeing in the sun was quite exhausting, so I ended the trip in the waters of the Dead Sea, enjoying a relaxing bath.
