Lieux magnifiques, commentaires intéressants du guide assez énervé qui a passé son temps à nous compter pour être sûr de n'avoir perdu personne ... Journée dense et sûrement trop speed, arrêt imposé dans deux boutiques alors que tant d'autres bien plus chouettes nous tendaient les bras ... De la frustration par rapport à ça, rythme très soutenu lors de cette journée fatigante, mais que de merveilles et quel régal pour les yeux avec ce retour magique dans le temps ... Que d'émotion aussi devant la beauté qui nous entourait ... Cette excursion est à faire, je recommande bien sûr 💯 !

The tour was amazing and worth it, this is the highlight of our short trip, the only issue was the time in Dead Sea was very short; we have given only 1hour in there which was clearly not enough, so we were not able to enjoy it much as we are rushing. Also the bus going back to city was crowded, we were surprised that they have added passengers from Dead Sea back to Tel Aviv they did not inform us about it, we almost lost our seats.

Très belle journée d’excursion bien encadrée . Cependant une grande frustration à Jérusalem car pas de quartier libre pour pouvoir profiter du shopping local avec ses innombrables boutiques. Mais un passage imposé par le tour guide dans deux boutiques, ce qui n’était pas plaisant. Ce temps perdu aurait contribué au quartier libre à Jérusalem. L’excursion aurait dû être un peu plus longue car beaucoup de stress pour le guide et pour les touristes afin de respecter un timing beaucoup trop serré . Mer morte 1 h de temps , impossible d’apprécier le moment. Sinon très beaux sites , l’essentiel est vu et la sécurité bien assurée , il faut le souligner.
