Monday April 11 Masada/Dead Sea/Red Sea/ on to Cairo

Masada from the distance. There is no way I can explain the Desert Fortress and story that goes along with Masada, just google it and read about it. This is an amazing place that is now accessed by a tramway.

Today was our last day with the Lunds, we will have Egyptian guides for the rest of our stay, will sure miss them and John's insight and ability to explain the significance of the areas we have visited.

Some shots of the Masada, none do it justice
