Watch your step on the snake path!
The Snake Path winds steeply up the eastern face of Masada, offering a challenging ascent that rewards hikers with spectacular views of the Dead Sea. As you navigate the narrow switchbacks, you follow the same ancient trail used by the Judean rebels during the Roman siege of AD 73. Reaching the summit is a bucket-list experience, where the vast desert landscape is revealed as is the remarkably preserved ruins of Herod’s Northern Palace.
