Full description

Embark on a guided tour of the Masada Fortress and take in the sweeping views of the Judean Desert. Travel in a comfortable and airconditioned van to the nature reserve of Ein Gedi before floating in the salty waters of the Dead Sea.

Depart Tel Aviv. Be driven through the Judean Desert to the Dead Sea region, the lowest on earth. Heading south alongside the Dead Sea, reach the foot of Mount Masada, the ancient fortress which was constructed in Roman times and is famous as the location of an iconic story of heroism.

At 9:00 AM ascend Masada by cable car and explore the site. At 11:00 AM continue to Ein Gedi, a beautiful nature reserve and oasis where you will have a chance to take a short hike or walk through the cooling and beautiful surroundings. After Ein Gedi, continue to the Dead Sea where you will access a private beach and have a chance to float in the famous waters and immerse in the muds that are so famous all around the world. Return to your hotel in Tel Aviv in the early evening.

Simon was a real fun guide who took all the time that was needed. He could answer all the questions with full knowledge! Masada was just excellent. Unfortunately Ein Gedi was not full accessable because of a landslide some months ago, but so there was more time for the Dead Sea swimming - we had 2 hours.

I was in general satisfied with the excursion and the guide. I was excited to see these historical places. Our guide gave us a lot of information about them. Unfortunately on the way back to Tel-Aviv we had to get another bus which was full and therefore I couldn’t seat together with my family.
