This full-day tour from Tel Aviv lasts about 12 hours. It begins with a one-hour drive through the Judean Hills, passing the Good Samaritan Inn. The first major stop is Masada National Park, where visitors take a cable car to the ancient fortress and spend about 90 minutes exploring the site built by King Herod. The tour then continues to The Herodium, the remains of another palace built by Herod, with a 30-minute visit. From the vehicle, the group passes the En Gedi Nature Reserve. The route also goes by the Qumran Caves, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered. The final stop is the Dead Sea, where participants have about 90 minutes to float in the salty water and apply mineral-rich mud. The tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off in Tel Aviv, entrance fees for all sites, air-conditioned transport, and the cable car ride to Masada. Food, drinks, and gratuities are not included. If Masada is closed for maintenance, the itinerary substitutes visits to the Qumran Caves and the Baptism Site on the Jordan River. It is recommended to bring hats, bathing suits, towels, and sun protection. This tour is not suitable for children under four years old.
