Masada cableway, Aerial tramway at Masada mountain, Israel
The Masada cableway carries passengers from the base station at 257 meters below sea level to the summit station at 33 meters above sea level.
The current cableway system replaced the original 1971 Swiss-built infrastructure in 1998, introducing a design without support pillars manufactured by Von Roll company.
The cableway provides access to the archaeological remains of the ancient Jewish fortress, where visitors can explore the historical structures and artifacts.
Two cabins operate simultaneously on the cableway system, completing the journey between stations in approximately three minutes with departures every fifteen minutes.
This transportation system holds the distinction of being the lowest aerial tramway in the world, operating in the Dead Sea region.
