Masada Sunrise, Ein Gedi and Dead Sea Full-Day Tour

One of the most exciting ways to see Masada, the Masada Sunrise, Ein Gedi, and Dead Sea Tour from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, an inclusive and comprehensive day tour visiting three of the country’s highlights.

The morning starts in the early hours, before the sun has risen, hiking the famous “Snake Path” to the top of the Masada Fortress (ticket not included) as the sun emerges. The gradual increase of light peaks at the top, with a breathtaking view and sunshine overlooking the Judean Desert and surrounding Dead Sea Region.

Later, unwind in the beauty and lush oasis of Ein Gedi (ticket not included), a nature reserve filled with flora and fauna as well as waterfalls.

The day will finish with a visit to the Dead Sea (ticket not included), with time to float in the water and enjoy the nutrient-rich mud, famous for its healing properties.
