Masada is ancient palaces and fortifications on top of an isolated rock plateau, on the eastern edge of the Judean Desert. After the First Jewish-Roman War a siege of the fortress by troops of the Roman Empire led to the mass suicide of the Sicarii rebels.
The Dead Sea also called the Salt Sea, the lowest elevation on the Earth's surface. Supplier of products, from balms for Egyptian mummification to potash for fertilizers, cosmetics and health.
Qumran are caves in which the Dead Sea Scrolls were hidden. The oldest surviving copies of Biblical and extra-biblical documents. some archaeologist presented Qumran as a building in which John the Baptist, and probably Christ, studied.
Ein Gedi is an oasis, located west of the Dead Sea, near Masada and the caves of Qumran. mentioned in the Bible - King David hides in the desert of En Gedi (1 Samuel 24:1-2) and King Saul seeks him "even upon the most craggy rocks, which are accessible only to wild goats" (1 Samuel 24:3
