Also where Jewish zealots lived & died defying the Roman army.

[those brave enough to face the heat walked down the mountain]
Dead Sea
Stopped for lunch here and had to time to put our toes in the water...

Where David hid from Saul and his army.

Home the ancient Essenes where they wrote the Dead Sea Scroll almost 2000 years ago.
