First, we’ll head to the wilderness.
On our way, we’ll pass Jericho – the oldest city in the world, and arrive at Ein Gedi – a heavenly nature reserve abundant with waterfalls, flora, fauna, and history that goes back to the times of King David.
We’ll proceed to Masada – the most visited national park in Israel and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The outstanding fortress built by King Herod was the arena of the final events of the Great Jewish revolt against the Romans. Nowadays, it is a symbol of Jewish heroism.
We’ll proceed to the ancient village of Qumran, which is where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found.
We’ll finish the day at the Dead Sea – the lowest place in the world.
Its buoyant waters are abundant with minerals and offer an excellent opportunity to enjoy a natural open-air spa.
