About this activity
Your day begins with an early morning pickup from your Tel Aviv hotel.
Departing Tel Aviv, your journey takes you through the Judean Hills and on to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth. Stop to visit a Dead Sea cosmetics shop to browse products made from Dead Sea minerals, before continuing the journey south along the shores of the salt lake to Masada.
Ascend by cable car and visit the impressive mountaintop fortress that was once home to King Herod. See the remains of the wall, palaces, and synagogue and hear the heroic story of of the Zealots who managed to fend off the Roman army before committing mass suicide.
After your historical trip to the fortress, descend by cable car and drive to one of shores of the Dead Sea for the opportunity to float in its mineral-rich water, which many believe contains therapeutic qualities. Enjoy a natural mud bath and the sensation of floating on water.
Feeling youthful again, return to to Tel Aviv and conclude your tour with a hotel drop-off.
Please note: The trip does not include a visit to Qumran.

Important : From January 17 to 23, 2019 due to renovations at Masada, the visit to Masada will be replaced by Qumran & Ein Gedi reserve.

This tour was amazing!
Masada was closed due to high winds and flash floods. Dan our guide gave us an excellent day instead visiting many other very interesting sites in the area such as the site of the dead sea scrolls and the river Jordan baptismal site . Dan was a great guide with a wealth of knowledge of the area and gave us an excellent day out - we felt very well cared for and enjoyed a day that could easily have been a disappointment very much.
Apart from confusion about hotel pick-up point and time, the tour was in general well-planned and organised. Instead of stopping at a Dead-sea cosmetic product shop I prefer a longer and more thorough visit of Masada itself.
Loved our tour guide, Michael and the overall experience! Just wish that when we booked from Tel Aviv, the tour would have gone straight from Tel Aviv to the tour! We stopped in Jerusalem and wasted over 1.5 hours in traffic to pick up a few more customers. AC also not great on bus...
This tour was amazing!
This was a fabulous tour with a very knowledgeable guide - packing a lot in, with a tour to the Dead Sea, Messada, the trip up the caves in the cable car. Fantastic. My only grip was that the check in procedure was clumsy - although I emailed in advance, the email in reply said I had to phone a local number on arrival, and the person answering had never heard of Viator! It all worked out fine in the end, but an online check in would be useful.
