View Authentic Artefacts in Masada’s Hidden Section

LAND: Pick up at your hotel in a comfortable air-conditioned van. A scenic drive, flanked by the Judean Mountains on one side and the Dead Sea on the other, will transport you to Masada for a memorable tour of the ancient hilltop fortress. Relive the historic struggle of the Jews and its dramatic ending, which have become an important symbol into today’s Israel. Take an insider’s peek at the hidden section of Masada, home to authentic artefacts from the 1st century CE.

Float in The Dead Sea – it’s Healing and Fun!

Continue to a Dead Sea spa, where the very air is full of naturally healing bromide and chloride salts. Slather your skin with soothing, softening, mineral-rich black mud (a perfect photo opp). Then float like a boat in the highly salinated seawater. Just be sure not splash any in your eyes!

Enjoy A Beachside Lunch and Return to Jerusalem or Tel Aviv Relaxed and Refreshed

Relax with the group over a tasty late lunch at a beachside restaurant. Vegetarian options available. (Lunch is not included in the tour price.)

Return to your hotel in JLM/TLV via private transportation. Feel like indulging in a little nap on the trip home? Don’t be shy – the Dead Sea does tend to have that relaxing effect on just about everyone.

Experience The Landscape as Few Tourists Do – From A Low-Flying Whirlybird

HELICOPTER: Leave Tel Aviv. Travel over Jerusalem, getting a bird’s eye view of Modern Jerusalem, the Knesset (Parliament), and the historic Old City. Fly on through the Judean desert, hovering over the scenic wilderness monastery of Marsaba. Pause for cold cocktails and fruit atop a cliff, which offers a spectacular desert panorama.
View the historic hilltop fortress of Masada as few tourists do — from the air! — and continue flying low, for an ultra close-up look at the Dead Sea from above. Break for lunch and and a relaxing, invigorating float in the Dead Sea waters. Then fly back home over the desert and Jerusalem.
