Highs and Lows

Masada is an incredible fortress. It not only was a place designed to survive a lengthy siege, it also is a place of contrast and beauty. It is a mountain top that only reaches to a couple meters above sea level. It has cisterns that are designed to hold hundreds of thousands of barrels of water yet it is located in a desert. And, as you can see, you can climb down into deep pit on top of the mountain.

If you are in touch with the starship Enterprise, you might want to ask Scottie to beam you up!

Ein Gedi is a spring in the desert at the depths of the world’s deepest valley. You will see the wild ibex calmly walking within arm’s length of the visitors. You can climb the stream bed to see several waterfalls. And as you can see, you can climb to the top of the highest rocks and still be below sea level.
