Useful Information
Dead Sea, Israel
After exploring the archeological ruins of Masada with your guide, you will continue to the Dead Sea past the Ein Gedi oasis and the ancient settlement of Qumran. Here you'll have the opportunity to view the many caves where approximately 900 parchment documents of religious significance were discovered - the fabled Dead Sea Scrolls.
The Dead Sea is the next stop, where you'll have approximately two hours to relax on the mineral beach and enjoy the surreal experience of floating in the salt-rich water, 400m (1,312 ft) below sea level! Don't miss the chance to have a mud bath in the world's richest source of natural salts. You will also have the opportunity to purchase Dead Sea skin care products at duty-free prices from the famous Ahava laboratory.
The drive back to Tel Aviv and see the ancient city of Jericho, referred to in the Hebrew Bible as the 'City of Palm Trees,' from the Old Roman road which links Jerusalem and Jericho.
Combining ancient and natural wonders, Israel's top day trip is not to be missed!

The tour was an unforgettable experience. The landscape is just stunning, especially the view from the ruins of Masada. And swimming in the Dead Sea is a thing that should be on everybody's bucket list. Also, I'd like to mention Adi, our charming tour guide. She was very well informed and happy to talk to us about every aspect of the sights and live in Israel in general. Big thumbs up!
