Explore the Masada ruins and the Dead Sea, including Qumran caves if cable car maintenance is required, with a full day from Tel Aviv.

This day trip from Tel Aviv covers two prominent sites in Israel: the ancient ruins of Masada and the therapeutic waters of the Dead Sea. On this tour, you’ll visit Masada, known for its historical significance and impressive ruins—though be mindful that from January 13th to 27th, 2019, the site will be closed due to cable car maintenance. During that time, the itinerary will include a visit to the Qumran caves and the Baptism site on the Jordan River.

The trip allows for ample time to float in the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea, renowned for their health benefits. Departure from Tel Aviv usually starts early in the morning, ensuring a full day of exploration and relaxation.
