Descending down to the lower terrace of Herod's Northern Palace
|
| The circular platform is the middle terrace, the stairs lead down to the lower terrace
|
| | Also known as the 'Hanging' Palace, with its three terraces this was Herod's private villa. The middle terrace had a circular hall for entertainment

The lower terrace featured a courtyard bordered by columns with Frescoes on the walls pretending to be marbles.
|
| They insist for me to take a photo for them - Say Cheese!
|
| These Israelis were the most friendliest bunch I have met during my trip

Climbing back up to the upper terrace and the main site
|
| Yes, there were water fountains here if you are desperate...
|
| I am surprised what birds like this are doing here at this barren place?
