Itinerary
Visiting a spectacular oasis in the desert, we take a short hike along the stream to the David waterfall. The stream flows all year round and there are plenty of places to paddle and refresh yourself under a waterfall. See if you can spot an Ibex along the way.
Masada is an ancient palace overlooking the Dead Sea and the Judean desert. We take a cable car to the top and see how King Herod the Great turned the desert into a magnificent residence with luxury quarters, bathhouse and even a swimming pool. Masada was also the last stand of the Jews in the revolt against the Romans in 73CE. We will learn how the Romans besieged the site and what happened to the Jews when the Romans finally breached the walls. It has become a symbol of determination, freedom and heroism.
This is one of the best beaches on the Dead Sea, with lifeguard services, sunshades, beach chairs, showers and changing facilities. Float in the Dead Sea and enjoy the therapeutic benefits and healing properties of its salt and mineral content.
At the lowest point on Earth, the Dead Sea, the world-famous cosmetics company Ahava welcomes visitors into its factory to learn the secrets that lie in the Dead Sea mud. Guests will receive a guided tour of the factory, an informative multimedia presentation, and expert advice from a cosmetologist. The leading Dead Sea brand utilizes the unique mineral make-up of the Dead Sea to cleanse and invigorate the skin, improve metabolism, promote good circulation, and heal the body. The talk itself is free of charge, and there is no obligation to buy any of the products.
