We ascend the Ma'ale Shalem road on the cliffs overlooking the Dead Sea. After a short stop taking in the view we shift to 4x4 and drive to the entrance of the canyon of Wadi Meshash. We leave our jeep and hike down the Meshash-gorge, climbing down and through the waterholes using the fixtures on the rock. After rains these waterholes are full. Reaching Wadi Muraba'at we take a path that leads us up and into the Muraba'at caves where the first Bar-Kochba scrolls from the Roman period were found. Back in our car we drive along the scenic Judean Desert route overlooking the Dead Sea and the oasis of Ein Gedi. After crossing the challenging canyons of Nahal Mishmar and Nahal Arugot, we set up our camp. Day 2: Early in the morning we drive to Brekhat Zefira a natural waterhole in the Judean Desert where we stop for a break.  A short jeep-drive takes us to the Arad-Massada road and on the Roman Ramp we enter the famous ruins of Massada (King Herod's Desert Fortress) and explore this fascinating site.
