Masada National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is an ancient fortress in the Southern District of Israel, offering breathtaking views of the Dead Sea and the surrounding desert landscape. Visitors can ascend the mountain via the Snake Path (challenging hike, allow 1-1.5 hours), the Roman Ramp (easier climb), or by cable car. The site is generally accessible, but the Snake Path may be difficult for those with mobility issues; the cable car provides an accessible alternative. Both solo and guided tours are available; guided tours provide historical context and insights. Summer months can be extremely hot, making early morning visits preferable. The approximate cost for entry is around 31 NIS for adults. A typical visit lasts 3-4 hours, allowing time to explore the ruins and enjoy the views.
