Sunrise Hike at Masada, Ein Gedi, and the Dead Sea

03:00 - Depart from Tel Aviv.

05:00 - Arrive at the eastern side of Masada. Before starting the hike up the mountain, the guide will prepare coffee and cookies to help energize you for the climb. The hike begins in darkness, facing the great mountain of Masada. It will take about an hour to reach the top (physical fitness required).

06:00 - Watch the sun rise above the Moab Mountains, a spectacular sight. After enjoying the sunrise, take a tour on top of the mountain and discover the ethos of the Jewish rebels 2,000 years ago. Listen to a story - a tale of bravery or cowardice - that is up to you to decide.

08:00 - Descend the mountain by cable car and visit the Masada Museum.

08:30 - Stop for breakfast sandwiches.

09:30 - Hike through Ein Gedi Natural Reserve. This beautiful oasis is a source of life for many animals, flora, and humans. During the hike, freshen up with a dip in the cool fresh water.

12:00 - Visit Mineral Beach by the Dead Sea for mud, sulfur pools, and, of course, the unique sensation of floating on the Dead Sea waters.
