Tour Masada, Qumran & the Dead Sea
Crossing the Judean Desert to Masada, climb by cable car to visit the remains of Herod’s Palace and the fortress, to see the storehouses, the inclined Citadel, the water cisterns, the Roman ramp, the columbarium towers, the synagogue, the Byzantine church, the casemates, Herod’s private bathhouse, mosaic floors, the walls etc.
Descend from Masada and drive to Qumran with your Israel tour guide. Some 2,000 years ago, here lived the Essenes or (BeYahad), a Jewish Sect, who wrote the famous Dead Sea Scrolls in an exhibition in the shrine of the book in Jerusalem.
We will stop on the shores of the Dead Sea, at the foot of the Judean Hills, for a unique experience, a “swim” in the Dead Sea. The healing properties of the water of the Dead Sea have been known for millennia. Today, we are using the area of the Dead Sea as a center for health and beauty.
