| Took an Arab minibus tour from Jerusalem. Arrived at the base of Masada before dawn. Small crowd of people waiting for the gates to open to hike up the switch-back trail. I passed everyone except an Englishman. We had an undeclared race to the top, but I couldn't catch him and he won. It was a demanding hike. Saw the sun rise over the Dead Sea from the top. Unforgettable. |
