Tour to Petra, Masada, and Dead Sea 3 day Itinerary

Masada is built atop a plateau on a mountain.  Herod the Great built 2 palaces here for his own use between 31 and 37 B.C.  There is a snake path that the Romans built and eventually used to reach Masada and eventually breach the wall with a battering ram and conquer it.   It took them about 15,000 troops to overpower the resistance of the Jewish rebels on Masada.

Dead Sea where no living thing can survive in its salty waters.  The lowest place on Earth, it is the deepest lake on Earth with a depth of 304 meters.  The waters of the Dead Sea are said to cure most skin ailments, as the water is rich in minerals.

Petra is one of the seven wonders of the world, and located in the middle of the desert.  Petra was once a very prosperous city that was run by the Nabateans.  They built cisterns to hold the rainwater, and in times of drought sold the water to travelers and tradesmen.    There is plenty to see in Petra, the Treasury, the temples, the caves, the cisterns, the facades, the tombs, and the Roman amphitheater.
