Masada National Park
We reach the shores of the Dead Sea encrusted with white salt and follow the shoreline towards Masada. Although it's possible to climb the ancient Snake Path up Masada as the Romans did 2000 years ago, we take the convenient cable car up to the mountain top plateau.

It was here that King Herod built a fortified palace complete with every convenience. Herod had built a swimming pool, water cisterns, two palaces, store rooms and even a synagogue.

Reviews

Masada & Dead Sea Day tour with Yosef
DayTours26, 21-09-2022
Had a great experience with our tour guide Yosef Haviv during our Masada and Dead Sea day tour. He was able to keep the trip interesting by telling us facts about the surrounding cities on the bus and checking in on all the groups on the bus to get to know them better. Did a great job of letting us know the sites and the duration period between each stop. If Yosef is on your bus expect a good time!
Magnifique excursion
Salom_R, 22-05-2022
Journée géniale! Tout est magnifique. Guide francophone au top. Excursion qui vaut le coup d'œil. Seul bémol : repas non compris et on nous enmene dans un restaurant buffet hors de prix (20 euros l'assiette pas possible de se resservir) pas très bon ni très copieux (une poignée de riz et 2 boulettes).
