Description

Let yourself be seduced by the breathtaking desert on this trip on which you'll visit the majestic fortress of Masada and float on the salty waters of the dead sea.

Masada and the Dead Sea Day Trip

We'll collect you from your hotel in Tel Aviv at the scheduled time, before heading into the desert.

We'll start the route through the Judean hills passing by the Inn of the Good Samaritan, and pausing at sea level to enjoy some beautiful views of the coast. Then we'll continue our route and board the cable car that ascends to Masada.

At the summit, we'll visit the remains of the palace of Herod and the synagogue that was besieged for months by Roman troops. The archaeological site also conserves the vestiges of public buildings such as the baths, which were extremely popular in ancient times.

In the afternoon, we'll continue through the desert to the Dead Sea where you'll take a fun dip. Its peculiar salty water allows you to float on the surface. The sensation you feel is like you're lying down in a bed, reading a book. Undoubtedly, you'll have an unforgettable experience in this unique inland sea in the middle east.

After taking the chance to swim in the legendary waters, we board the bus again to take you back to your hotel, arriving 10 hours after the starting time.

Comprende varias fases, 1era recogida en Tel Aviv, reorganización por grupos de excursión, breve parada para recoger al grupo de Jerusalén, aquí se puede tomar un café e ir al baño, 2da Masada, con una breve parada en una tienda de productos del mar muerto. Tour por Masada, nuestro guia Jonathan de 10, paciente, educado, super simpatico y amable. 3era breve parada para comer, aquí sugiero llevar un bocadillo, sino se quiere hacer grandes colas y pagar mucho por poco. 4ta y final Mar Muerto :) Translate this opinion into English.

Un tour excelente desde Tel Avid, para conocer la fortaleza de Massada y visitar el mar muerto. La única observación es que después de recoger a los pasajeros se hacen muchas paradas iniciales para baño y café, que podrían ser una sola y proceder directamente a Massada. Al final, uno de los otros buses tuvo un problema y cambiaron algunos pasajeros al nuestro. La guía muy amable. Translate this opinion into English.

An excellent tour from Tel Avid, to visit the Massada fortress and visit the Dead Sea. The only observation is that after picking up the passengers there are many initial stops for bathroom and coffee, which could be just one and proceed directly to Massada. In the end, one of the other buses had a problem and some passengers were transferred to ours. The guide very friendly. Opinion translated. Show original.

O ônibus me pegou pontualmente no pick up point, num hotel próximo ao meu. Seguimos para Massada, onde o guia Martin tinha todas as informações na ponta da língua e tudo muito bem organizado. Seguimos para o Mar Morto e tivemos duas horas pra relaxar e tirar fotos. Já fi três passeios com essa empresa e não tive nenhuma surpresa ruim. Foi tudo perfeito. Translate this opinion into English.

The bus picked me up punctually at the pick up point, at a hotel close to mine. We continued to Masada, where the guide Martin had all the information at the tip of his tongue and everything was very well organized. We continued to the Dead Sea and had two hours to relax and take pictures. I've done three tours with this company and haven't had any bad surprises. It was all perfect. Opinion translated.
