5Great trip
Great trip from Jerusalem. Well organised and great guide
5Great visit to Dead Sea
The tour was great we learned so much. Sharif was an excellent guide. We loved it!
4Interesting tour in the desert.
Ein Gede was ok not that impressive. Guide could have been a little less bossy but had some good facts. However another guide told us that Herod was Jewish whereas our guide Sharif said he wasn’t.
5Private Day trip to Masada, Ein Gedi & Dead Sea
This was very well organised. Very professional. We done this as a private tour - our guide was Rami He was excellent - he was very knowledgeable and informative The trip from start to finish was fantastic Highly recommend especially with the tour guide Rami
5Masada, Ein Gedi and Dead Sea Tour
I really recommend this trip to Masada, Ein Gedi and the Dead Sea! The whole day was very well organized, and there was enough time to enjoy each place without feeling rushed. It was a great way to see all three places in one day. I also highly recommend Rami as a guide. He was incredibly helpful, kind and friendly, and has an amazing amount of knowledge. He made the whole trip really interesting and enjoyable, and you can tell how passionate he is about what he does. I would definitely recommend going on a trip with him. I truly hope I’ll have the chance to go for another tour someday :D

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).
