Full description

Enjoy a full-day bus tour from Jerusalem to ancient ruins in the Judean Hills and the shores of the Dead Sea. See the archeological site of Masada and a fortress built by King Herod. Go for a dip at the Dead Sea Mineral Beach and uncover the cave where the dead sea scrolls were found. Visit the Masada National Park ruins which are perched on a high plateau. View the ancient fortified palace of Masada which became a refuge for zealots who took a stand against the Romans, which ended in the mass suicide of the zealots in 73 AD. Follow your guide and ride up on a cable car to 1,300 feet above sea level to the plateau where the immense Masada ruins rest precariously. Look out at extraordinary views of the Dead Sea and the Judean Desert.

Explore the fortress built by King Herod in Masada in around 37 BC. Stroll through the remains of the palaces and see mosaic floors and Roman baths. Uncover the oldest synagogue in Israel and admire remarkable features like the 12 water cisterns that each had a capacity of 140,000 cubic feet. Drive to the lowest point on earth at the Dead Sea Mineral Beach which is located in the Jordan Rift Valley. Experience the high density of the salt in the water as you float with ease on the surface of the aquamarine water.

Take a mud-bath and benefit from the therapeutic qualities of the natural Dead Sea mud before heading to the Qumeran cave, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found. Return to your accommodation in Jerusalem at the end of your tour.

Dorit was an outstanding tour guide very personable with a great sense of humour . She was extremely informative about the history of Masada and the Dead Sea as well as the present day aspects. I really appreciated the extra information as we were returning into Jerusalem about the historical buildings. Our driver was great too. Felt in safe hands.

We have a great trip, well worth it and the timings were about right. 10 hours in a coach seemed a long time but it really flew by and the Masada trip was worth it even just for the views. The Dead Sea swim was great fun and mud bathing a blast. It might suggestion would be to let people know the first stop is a coffee stop as this might help people with the early start! It’s good to know what the whole plan is to enable p people to make choices . Overall we had a great day, guide was really knowledgable and the people on the trip were great fun too - highly recommend!

The guide Roy we had, was amazing. He provided us valuable information about the places. He did a great job as a guide to make us visit alternative places because the cable car was not functioning at Masada. I will give Roy 10 out of 10. The alternate places we visited I already visited. So it was not 100%value for money. It is not the guide fauly,as it was too hot. I would suggest if the time doing the visit could change so that people can visit Masada when it's not so hot. If the visit to the dead sea could be extended to 2hrs instead of 1.5hrs that would be great. So that we can spend more time.
