Description

Depart from Tel Aviv by air-conditioned coach for the Judean Hills and Dead Sea region. Visit Masada, the ancient fortified palace built by King Herod around 37 BC. The fortress sits 1,300 feet above sea level, featuring ruins of palaces, mosaic floors, Roman baths, and twelve large water cisterns. Instead of climbing, take the cable car to the summit for panoramic views of the Dead Sea and Judean Desert.

After exploring Masada, continue to the Dead Sea Mineral Beach located in the Jordan Rift Valley, the lowest point on earth. Experience floating in the highly salty water, and apply natural Dead Sea mud known for its therapeutic benefits.

On the return journey, stop to view the Qumran caves, the archaeological site where the ancient Dead Sea Scrolls were found, before arriving back in Tel Aviv.
