Herodium | Touching the prosperity of 2000 years ago

📍Herodium, Bethlehem Herodium is located in the Judean Desert south of Bethlehem on the west bank of the Jordan River. 2,000 years ago, it was the largest villa complex, the third largest palace and the most exquisite castle palace in the Roman Empire. From here, we can get a glimpse of the luxurious lifestyle of King Herod, the tyrant of the Roman period. This is an attraction highly recommended by local taxi drivers. We were pleasantly surprised to see so few tourists here. There were only two of us on the entire hill. Looking down from the mountain, we could see Israel on one side and Palestine on the other. We could also see the Dead Sea in the distance and clearly see the gap in living standards between the people of the two countries. Transportation Tips: It is recommended to take a taxi from the entrance of Bethlehem Ticket information: 29 shekels for adults, can be purchased directly at the ticket office at the bottom of the mountain #TravelInspiration#The most stylish travel experience
