Life along the Dead Sea. A day private tour

The Dead Sea - the lowest (dry) place in the World - is very much alive. It boasts unique historical events - baptism in the Jordan River, Qumeran, the site of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Ein Gedi Oasis - a subtropical island in the harsh desert environment, and Massada - the unique story of the Jewish revolt against the Roman Empire, this is where it began in the year 67 and this is where it ended 6 years later. We will also float in the waters of the Dead Sea, the saltiest body of the water in the World, and see the sinkholes - a testament to the Dead Sea's revenge, striking back at humanity for the waters ir has taken from the Sea. For five years I served as a field guide and directed the Field Study Center at Ein Gedi, and can therefore tell you some personal experiences from the desert, such as in meeting one of the local leopards (we had several) from a distance of 3 meters, I noticed the size of ther teeth. Unfortunately, today leopards have become extinct in the Judean Desert.
