The journey
Explore two faces of the Holy Land on this 2-day tour through Jerusalem and the Dead Sea region. Discover Jerusalem through its historic neighbourhoods, markets, iconic landmarks, and religious sites, then journey to Masada, Ein Gedi, and the Dead Sea to experience ancient ruins, desert landscapes, monasteries, and synagogues. Along the way, visit Kibbutz Ein Gedi, hike in the national park, swim in David's Falls, and float in the Dead Sea while enjoying mud packs and massages.
Climb up to Masada at dawn via the eastern Snake Path, a 1-hour moderate walk, or drive toward Arad, about 2.5 hours from Jerusalem, to reach the base of the Roman Ramp for a 30-minute easy walk, with your guide explaining the route and the history of the area.
