Highlights

Travel through southern Israel, crossing the Judean Hills and passing the historic Inn of the Good Samaritan. Pause at sea level for an unforgettable photo opportunity before descending to the world-famous Dead Sea. Our first destination is Masada, where a scenic cable-car ride takes us to the summit of the plateau to explore the remains of Herod’s ancient fortress, including royal palaces and a Roman bathhouse dating back over 2,000 years. Continuing on, we pass the lush desert oasis of Ein Gedi and the archaeological site of Qumran, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were uncovered. The day concludes with relaxing time at a Dead Sea beach, allowing you to float effortlessly in the mineral-rich waters and enjoy a rejuvenating natural mud treatment beneath the sun.

About Tel Aviv

Tel Aviv is Israel's Mediterranean city of white Bauhaus buildings, long beaches, street markets and a café-lined seafront beside ancient Jaffa.

Tel Aviv was founded in 1909 on sand dunes north of the old port of Jaffa and grew quickly into a city of modernist apartment blocks. Its White City, a large collection of Bauhaus and International Style buildings, is listed by UNESCO. Rothschild Boulevard is lined with these buildings and shaded by trees, and Independence Hall, where the state was declared in 1948, stands on it.

Top-ranked sights in Tel Aviv: Caesarea, Neve Tzedek (Neve Tsedek).
