Full description
** The Tours are conducted in two languages Start the day with pick-up from your hotel in Jerusalem and head to the Dead Sea, via the Judean hills. Your drive continues from there along the shores of the Dead Sea, to the desert fortress of Masada. Arrive at Masada, where your guide will tell you about the heroic story of the Jewish fighters. You’ll ascend Masada by cable car and then tour the mountain fortress that was built by King Herod. This is the spot where the Zealots of the 1st century made their last stand against the Roman troops. You’ll explore the site to see the remains of the walls, palaces, synagogue, water cisterns, mosaic floors and Roman baths. When you’ve completed this part of the tour, descend Masada by cable car. Your next destination is the Dead Sea. Its shores are the lowest point on dry land on earth! You’ll have the opportunity to float and swim in the Dead Sea waters that many believe have special therapeutic effects.

The mini-bus was clean and comfortable. Pick-up was smooth and on time. Sharon was a knowledgeable and engaging guide pointing out sites during the ride and at Masada. Kalia Beach is a bit rocky, but likely same everywhere. It does have convenient showering and changing facilities. Main negatives of this tour were the AHAVA store stop and the lunch stop. Both were tourist traps with dozens of large buses. Food at the lunch stop was expensive and ordinary. With such a small group, we could have gone somewhere away from tourist traps.

After a late start, we were quite a bit of a rush on this tour which also falls on the day before a Jewish holiday. We could have had more time to enjoy both Masada and Dead Sea. The scenery was stunning and the drive through the Judean desert to the lowest point on the earth was pleasant. There was someone in our group who had been on this kind of tour before and was a bit interruptive at times. Other than that it was a pleasant day out and overall a good tour.
