Do this because
- Explore the ruins at Masada and enjoy views across the Dead Sea
- Hike through Ein Gedi Nature Reserve and cool off beside a pool
- Float in the Dead Sea and immerse yourself in the therapeutic mud
What to expect
Join this full-day self-guided trip to Masada, Ein Gedi and the Dead Sea and visit three sites full of natural beauty and history. Explore the ancient fortress of Masada, hike in Ein Gedi Nature Reserve, and float in the Dead Sea rich in minerals.
Leaving Jerusalem, you'll travel south through the beautiful Judean Desert to the foot of the Masada fortress which stands beside the Dead Sea. You'll take a cable car to the top of the fortress, enjoy the special views, and explore the archaeological ruins. Masada is one of Israel's most important archaeological sites and the site of one of the greatest tales of Jewish heroism.
After leaving Masada, you'll travel a short distance to Ein Gedi Nature Reserve. Surrounded by the desert, this oasis offers a beautiful hike alongside the cool waters that flow from the spring. Stop and cool off beside one of the pools which can be found along the way, before heading to your final stop of the day.
The lowest place on Earth, the Dead Sea, is a lake with water so salty that it allows you to float. While floating in the water, immerse yourself in the therapeutic mud before returning to Jerusalem.
