Masada is located between Jerusalem and the Dead Sea and is Israel&#8217;s top paid tourist attraction. There is free parking available for cars so be sure to ask at the gate and drive up to the hill. The\u00a0round-trip\u00a0cable car ride is 70NIS ~ $19USD and you can also buy a one-way cable car ride down if you want to hike up the mountain on the Snake Path (there are no snakes).<\/p>\n<p
