Let yourself be captivated by magical desert landscapes with this tour which visits the majestic Masada fortress. You will also have the opportunity to magically float on the surface of the Dead Sea!
Tour of Masada & the Dead Sea
After picking you up at the David Citadel Hotel Jerusalem at the designated time, we'll head to the Israeli desert, passing through the Judean Hills and the Inn of the Good Samaritan.
Next, it's on to the imposing Masada fort, which the Romans unsuccessfully besieged for many months. For us, it'll be a little easier to gain access, as we'll ascend in the Masada cable car known as the Cableway.
At the summit, we'll learn all about the history of the ancient inhabitants who decided to commit suicide rather than surrender to the invader. We'll also visit the remains of the synagogue, which the Roman troops tried to destroy.
After a free lunch, in the afternoon, we'll relax and unwind by floating on the waters of the Dead Sea. We'll also be able to read a book or magazine while you gently drift along the surface of this grand expanse of salty water.
After this unique experience on the waters of the Dead Sea, we'll head back to the bus and begin our journey back to the meeting point in Jerusalem, putting an end to this 10-hour day trip.
