I Bar Yehuda Airport

Masada Bar Yehuda Airport

Metzada (Masada)
Small airfield on the Dead Sea shore, at the foot of the Masada fortress. Used for tourist flights and is potentially an emergency field.

Massada is located in the southern Judean desert, south of the Dead Sea; about 2 hours drive from Jerusalem, Israel capital. Most people ascend the mountain by walking up the Snake Path, named after the winding ascent on the eastern face. It is best to start an hour before dawn to get to the summit in time for the sunrise over the Mountains of Moab. Later in the day the blistering sun makes climbing a sweaty and tiring ordeal.
