Waste of time and money
Masada National Park的点评
点评：Bottom line: If you're driving past Masada on your way to Eilat or, in the opposite direction, Jerusalem, by all means stop off at the Visiors' Center. Do not waste your time or money going to the top of the mountain, especially if you're only in Israel for a short trip.
Because there were so few people on Sept 25 (the crowds will arrive during the Sukkot holiday), all the ticket offices were closed. After wandering around a bit we discovered that we could buy tickets at the National Parks store. An extremely unpleasant and rude woman named Hili Markowitz asked me three times if I wanted to pay for the children. Each time I said yes. When she charged us only for me and my wife, and I told her I also wanted to include the children, she got very made at me and demanded to know why I hadn't told her in advance that I wanted to pay for the children as well. This was not an auspicious start to the day.
To take her revenge on me for daring to tell her that she was wrong, she demanded a WhatsApp photograph of the children's parents' picture I.D., even though I had already told it to her, in order to prove that we were Matmid members. When she saw the picture, she simply typed the I.D. number into her computer. This was not a nice, friendly, or humane woman.
There was another problem when she charged us to renew our Matmid subscription without bothering to inform us that there was also a longer, two-year option.
To avoid the heat, we had planned to take the cable car to the top, see Masad, come back down, eat in one of the restaurants, and then see the short movie and visit what turned out to be a fantastic museum. This did not work out.
The signage at the top is absolutely terrible. There are no signs pointing towards the main attractions or to the Roman path going down to the Arad signs. There is water of any sort withing the park, except at the entrance. The signs to the toilets pointed in directions where we could not see any toilets.
The tickets did not come with a site map. We saw a few old signs regarding audio guides, but saw no audio guides anywhere, including the shop where we bought the tickets.
The Northern Palace involves a lot of steps which simply aren't worth the effort. The few wall paintings that are there are reproductions, the originals being back down the mountain in the museum. Most of the pottery and other findings are at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.
When we got back down, we tried to enter the main cafeteria buffet, but the door from the staircase was locked. When we walked back up to the main floor and tried using the elevator, the button clearly marked "restaurant" took us to a blocked corridor. An elevator directly to the restaurant floor was blocked off with a table.
When we went back to the National Parks office and asked, they finally told us that the restaurants have been closed for year. There are almost no signs inside the visitors' center, and the one that proudly pointed to a coffee bar has been wrong for at least three years.
Therefore, we gave the kids some snacks and took them into the short movie. Almost everyone had to stand, as the theater only had two chairs. At seven minutes, the movie was too short to give a serious explanation of Masada's history. After that we spent almost half an hour in the museum, which was worth much more time, but the kids were really hungry so we left and drove to Ein Boqeq where we went to a much more expensive restaurant to eat.
The nasty woman, the lack of water, the lack of a map, the missing signage, the fact that there was nothing to eat, the chair less theater, and the non-existing audio guides really put a damper on what should have been an amazing experience for our three grandchildren.

翻译：总结：如果您在前往埃拉特的途中经过马萨达，或者反方向前往耶路撒冷，一定要在游客中心稍作停留。不过，千万别浪费时间和金钱去爬上山顶，尤其是如果您只在以色列进行短途旅行的话。
9月25日当天游客极少（人潮通常会在住棚节期间出现），因此所有的售票处都关闭了。逛了一会儿后，我们发现可以在国家公园的商店里买票。有个叫希莉·马尔科维茨的女人极其不友善且粗鲁无礼，她三次问我是否要为孩子们付费。每次我都回答“是的”。当她只给我们夫妻俩收费，而我告诉她我还要为孩子们买票时，她顿时勃然大怒，还质问我为什么事先不告诉她我也要为孩子付费。这算不上是一个好兆头的开端。
因为我敢指出她错了，她便要报复我：尽管我已经把信息告诉过她，她还是要求我通过WhatsApp发送孩子们父母的身份证照片，以证明我们是Matmid的会员。看到照片后，她只是把身份证号码输入到电脑里。她绝不是一个友善、和蔼或有人情味的人。另一个问题是，她要求我们续订Matmid服务，却丝毫不提其实还有期限更长的两年订阅选项。
为了避开烈日，我们原计划乘坐缆车上山、参观马萨德遗址，然后下山，在餐厅用餐，接着观看简短的电影并参观那座后来证明非常精彩的博物馆。但计划并未如愿实现。
山顶的指示牌糟糕透顶。没有任何指示牌指向主要景点，也没有指向通往阿拉德标志处的罗马古道。除了入口处外，公园内没有任何水源。指示厕所方向的标识所指的方向上我们根本看不到任何厕所。
购票后并未获得园区地图。我们看到了一些有关语音导览器的旧指示牌，但在任何地方都找不到语音导览器，就连我们买票的售票处也没有。北方宫殿的参观流程步骤繁多，实则不值得费这个劲。那里仅有的几幅壁画也都是复制品，原作则被保存在山下的博物馆中。大部分陶器及其他出土物也都陈列在耶路撒冷的以色列博物馆里。
我们回到山下后，试图进入主自助餐厅，但从楼梯通往餐厅的门却是锁着的。我们又回到主楼层并尝试使用电梯，结果……那个标有“餐厅”字样的按钮把我们带到了一条被封锁的走廊。直通餐厅楼层的电梯也被一张桌子挡住了。
当我们回到国家公园办公室询问后，他们才告诉我们，那些餐厅已经关闭多年了。游客中心里几乎没有任何指示牌，那个骄傲地指向咖啡吧的指示牌至少三年来一直都是错的。
于是，我们给了孩子们一些零食，然后带他们去观看那部短电影。几乎所有人都不得不站着，因为剧院里只有两把椅子。这部电影只有七分钟长，实在太短，无法对马萨达的历史做出详细的说明。之后我们在博物馆里待了近半个小时，其实那里值得花更多时间参观，但孩子们实在饿了，于是我们离开，开车前往艾因博凯克，在那里去了一家价格贵得多的餐馆用餐。
那个讨厌的女人、缺淡水、没有地图、缺乏指示牌，还有什么可吃的都没有。没有座椅的剧场，再加上根本不存在的语音导览，这些都彻底破坏了原本本应让我们三个孙辈享受的绝佳体验。
