TOUR DESCRIPTION
Embark on an unforgettable drive through the stark beauty of Israel’s desert landscape to Masada, a stunning flat-topped mountain rising dramatically above the Dead Sea. Ascend to the summit via the world’s lowest cable car, where you’ll step into history. Explore the magnificent palace of King Herod the Great, built over 2,000 years ago, and stand in awe at the site where the Jewish Zealots made their final stand against the Roman legions, choosing heroic martyrdom over surrender.
After this powerful journey back in time, descend to the lowest point on Earth—the tranquil shores of the Dead Sea. Enjoy a delicious lunch at a premier resort, followed by time to unwind and float in the therapeutic, mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea, known for their healing properties.
HELPFUL HINTS
- Children’s Access: For safety reasons, it is not recommended for children under the age of 10 to enter the Dead Sea, as the high salt concentration can sting their eyes.
- Jewelry: Please refrain from bringing any jewelry, as it is not advisable to wear it in the Dead Sea. The resort provides lockers for safekeeping.
- Tour Inclusions: Your tour includes access to the resort’s Thermo-mineral pools, changing rooms, showers, bathrooms, relaxation area, swimming pool, and the Dead Sea beach. You will also receive a locker (for two) and a towel.
- Time in the Water: Due to the high salinity of the Dead Sea, it’s recommended to limit your time in the water to 15-20 minutes to avoid skin irritation.
- Sun Protection: Be sure to apply sunscreen before sun exposure, especially if you plan to be outside for extended periods.
- Pre-Visit Care: Avoid shaving or waxing at least 24 hours prior to your visit, as the saltwater may irritate sensitive skin.
- Swimming at Own Risk: Please note that swimming at the resort’s Dead Sea beach is at your own risk.
