Masada Sunrise Ein Gedi and Dead Sea Tour from Jerusalem

Jerusalem 12 hours

Your tour begins with pickup in the early hours. Then drive to the base of Masada Mountain, crowned by the UNESCO-listed Masada Fortress. While your driver waits at the mountain’s base, embark on a challenging hike to the mountain’s summit to watch a desert sunrise. Enjoy free time to explore the ruins before making your descent and reconvening with your driver. Your next stop is the Ein-Gedi Nature Reserve. Follow your choice of well-marked hiking trails independently, admiring waterfalls, caves, and wadis and then return to the vehicle for the journey to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on planet earth. On arrival at a private Dead Sea beach resort, you have ample free time to float and flounder in the salt-saturated water, which is reputed to have healing properties. After drying off and showering, return to your original departure point in Jerusalem.
