Departure from Tel-Aviv

07.30 - departure from Tel Aviv

Along the way, you will see how the landscape changes when you drive from the center of the country to the south. How green fields gradually turn into a completely barren rocky desert. You will also pass by date palm plantations and the lowest place on earth.

Masada Fortress

09.30 – Masada Fortress

At an altitude of 450 meters, the remains of the fortress walls and buildings occupy a huge space. There is a small town up there. There are even “ruins” of a synagogue and a guest palace. When the Roman emperor Tiberius came to visit Herod the Great, he lived in this palace. The fortress had its own water supply system, Roman baths, food and weapons supplies, and royal gold was stored there. Herod the Great, suffering from persecution mania, settled his family in Masada, and then, suspecting everyone of treason, he himself killed them there. Seeing this place is like flying in a time machine more than 2 thousand years ago!

Ein Bokek (swimming in the Dead Sea / SPA)

12.30 – Ein Bokek (swimming in the Dead Sea / SPA)

This is one of the most amazing places on earth. It is located 400 meters below the level of the world ocean, and the sea itself is more than 300 meters deep. When you enter this water, it seems that you are immersed in oil, and not in the sea. This amazing effect is achieved by an unprecedented amount of salt and minerals in the water. Now cosmetics with Dead Sea ingredients can be found all over the world. And tourists on the beaches are smeared with therapeutic mud and washed off with healing water directly into the sea.

Return to the hotel

16.00 –Return to the hotel

You will go back by another road, through a mountain serpentine in the desert. Be prepared for something that can plug your ears. But that’s not the point. The main thing is that on this tour you will see something that you will not see anywhere else in the world!
