Israel Tour - Day 5

On day 5 on our Israel Tour we drove through the Judean desert to the Dead Sea, the lowest point of earth, and along its shore to the fortress of Massada. We viewed a 3 dimensional museum theater, then rode a cable car to the top of the mountain to see Herod's fortress-palace, synagogue, bathhouses, and more. On our return trip to Jerusalem we visited the caves of Qumran where the Dead Sea scrolls were discovered. Then we stopped on the shores of the Dead Sea and enjoyed a "float" in the dense waters. The whole day was awesome!
