Masada in the Dead Sea region is a must see. It has an interesting history. It was a palatial refuge - a fortification, built by Herod the Great. The siege of Masada by the Romans ended in mass suicide. The palace has many areas to explore and we were fortunate to have an excellent guide who made history come alive. The cable car takes you to the top. The views are beautiful. Hiking to the top is another option.

On a hot summer day we came to Nahal David. Right near the parking lot there is a pleasant walk that takes you to see some of the water falls. It took about an hour round trip. You can go into the water and cool off.

More questions abound concerning mysterious mosaics in the ancient Ein Gedi synagogue ruins. Constructed in the Common Era third century, the synagogue fell into destructive ruin in the 6th century. The mosaic floor has an 18-line Aramaic inscription mentions names of Patriarchs. Names of the synagogue donors/builders are also mentioned. With only the foundation and floors remaining, tents reduce weathering of the mosaic floors—and prevents sunburned archaeologists and tourists. The preservation and education about the center of a thriving Dead Sea village are what make these ruins spectacular, and earn my high rating.

8. Chalcholite Temple
