Tour Itinerary
Encounter the ancient fortress of Masada, and marvel at one of the greatest Jewish symbols of hope, where 960 Jewish rebels held the fort against the Romans for 2 years before choosing the freedom of death over a lifetime of slavery.
Continue on to the real highlight of the tour, spend two hours in the stunning Ein Gedi nature reserve with its permanent springs, waterfalls and amazing desert plants and wildlife. After this soothing experience you will be ready to float effortlessly in the healing waters of the Dead Sea, or take a bath in the therapeutic mud at the lowest place on Earth. Lunch can be eaten at the restaurant at the beach, or you can order a packed lunch* along with your tour.
