Masada, Ein Gedi and The Dead Sea Private Tour (from Jerusalem/Tell Aviv)

We drive eastwards, Jerusalem Mountains. We bypass Jerusalem from the North, start descending toward the Judean Desert. We pass by The Sea Level Point and go further east, going down to the Jordan Rift Valley. We visit Ein Gedi Nature reserve, the lowest oasis in the world, and marvel at the views, flora, and fauna. We continue to the south, getting to Masada National Park. A lofty plateau overlooking the Dead Sea, UNESCO has declared Masada National Park a World Heritage Site. We reach atop the plateau by a short cable car ride. We will visit Herod's palace, see nice mosaic floors, Fresco wall paintings and Stucco designs. We talk about the heroic battle that took place here some 1950 years ago between the Romans and the zealots, and about the symbolic value of Masada nowadays. We finish our visit to the desert region in floating in the Dead Sea, and drive back to the starting point.
