Strangely enough, although Masada is one of Israel's better known archaeological sites, we have never been atop this fortress. I know you need most of a day to get there and tour it. We've never seemed to have that much time to see one site.
I'll blog about Masada again if we ever get a chance to visit it. But this I know from traveling on the highway near it: Masada would have been a brutal place to live. It is hot, dry and remote. Not my idea of a relaxing mountain retreat, regardless of how many opulent baths and saunas Herod had up there!
