Unfortunately, I have not been able to work as a tour guide as from Feb 2020
Should you wish to support me and my videos please subscribe to my channel and let me guide you through the Holy Land via my videos. In this way, I will be able to continue to do my work of uploading to TH-cam. Upon your request and in return I am very much happy to pray for you at the Western Wall and/or light a candle in your name at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre or anywhere else in the Holy Land of Israel.
Should you have a personal request I will be more than happy to respond and even film it in a personal video.

Masada is not only important because it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site or an ancient fortress occupying a breathtaking, strategic location high on a flat plateau above the Dead Sea, but because of its symbolic importance of determination and heroism which continues to this day with many Israeli soldiers sworn in here.
This mountain is one of the greatest archaeological sites in Israel and, perhaps, across the world. Its dramatic ascent can now be made by cable car, but the drama and imagery that this site portrays is no less powerful than it ever was. Many people opt to join a Masada tour, enjoying a guide who will bring the site to life.
HISTORY OF MASADA
The fortress was built in the year 30 BCE by King Herod, whose architectural feats have left their mark throughout the country. At the beginning of the great revolt against Rome in the year 68 CE, the site was conquered by a group of Jewish zealots, and Masada became their last stronghold.
In the year 72, the Romans besieged Masada and succeeded in reaching the steep fortress after constructing a huge earthen ramp on its western side. In the year 73, the 960 Jewish zealots living at the top chose to commit suicide rather than to fall into the hands of the Romans alive. Their deeds left behind a saga of courage, heroism, and martyrdom.
The remains of the fortress are well-preserved and have been reconstructed in an effort to pay homage to the site and its heroic inhabitants. The most impressive structure remaining is King Herod’s northern palace, built on three rock terraces overlooking the gorge below.
Near the palace is a large Roman-style bathhouse with a colorful mosaic floor and walls decorated with murals. Many other buildings at the site - such as the luxurious western palace, the mikveh (Jewish ritual bath), storerooms, watchtowers, and synagogue relate the history of Masada, especially when viewed with artifacts such as storage containers, decorated pottery, scrolls, and coins.
The beautiful embossments and murals that were discovered on the walls of buildings on the site were restored by Italian experts to preserve them for years to come. This is the largest and most complete Roman siege camp that remains today.
CLIMBING MASADA
Masada
Masada is extremely high, and can be ascended on foot by the winding “snake path” or by a cable car that runs from the tourist center at the foot of the mountain to the top. The tourist center also features a movie about the story of Masada, a model of the site, and an exhibit of the archeological findings.
Many like to climb Masada at sunrise, which has become something of a tradition, with the spectacular view of the Moab Mountains and the Dead Sea. For those seeking a unique and memorable experience atop Masada, check out our Masada Sunrise Yoga, Ein Gedi Oasis, and Dead Sea Wellness Experience Tour.

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered licensed tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this "calling" in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)

Awesome!
I wasn't aware they had roofs until you pointed out the model, I thought they just had walls. In all the documentaries I've ever seen, that's all they show. It's like when you're touring showing different villages, there's no roofs.
Holy Land
Is it true that UFOs we're seen near the Dome in Israel this evening?? Saw a video of it on Facebook today that someone filmed and posted.... but didn't know for sure if it was real.
I didn't see anything like that in the Israeli channels
It could probably edited. Aliens are not real the way people think. It is just either something that the government has created or some drones flying up.
@@zahishaked Oh ok. Well. It was just faked then. Ok. Thanks.
@@IveOdyssey I know Aliens ARE real. And I know exactly what they are. I have the knowledge of this. But cannot share it here as youtube does not let us share links in the comments. You will have to do your own research from many sources for that. Or you can just continue to believe or think what you want to. But I will say this ... I have personally seen their ships with my own eyes up close.... 2 side by side .... Not far from my tree tops ....in broad daylight with nobody else around except one of my neighbors. Back in 2011. Above my house .... And my neighbor verified with me what we were seeing. Never went to the news station. Because I had no device on me to record video or take pictures. This was before I ever owned a smart phone. But I know what I saw with my own 2 eyes and it was not government craft and it was not balloons or swamp gas and it was not drones. I saw everything very clearly and completely on these two crafts and I know they were not from this world. I know they were from other dimensions. Because I know certain things that most people do not. And I saw these crafts go at speeds that we are not capable of. I will never forget that day in 2011.
