Full description
** The Tours are conducted in two languages Start the day with pick-up from your hotel in Jerusalem and head to the Dead Sea, via the Judean hills. Your drive continues from there along the shores of the Dead Sea, to the desert fortress of Masada. Arrive at Masada, where your guide will tell you about the heroic story of the Jewish fighters. You’ll ascend Masada by cable car and then tour the mountain fortress that was built by King Herod. This is the spot where the Zealots of the 1st century made their last stand against the Roman troops. You’ll explore the site to see the remains of the walls, palaces, synagogue, water cisterns, mosaic floors and Roman baths. When you’ve completed this part of the tour, descend Masada by cable car. Your next destination is the Dead Sea. Its shores are the lowest point on dry land on earth! You’ll have the opportunity to float and swim in the Dead Sea waters that many believe have special therapeutic effects.

After a late start, we were quite a bit of a rush on this tour which also falls on the day before a Jewish holiday. We could have had more time to enjoy both Masada and Dead Sea. The scenery was stunning and the drive through the Judean desert to the lowest point on the earth was pleasant. There was someone in our group who had been on this kind of tour before and was a bit interruptive at times. Other than that it was a pleasant day out and overall a good tour.

Considero que seria importante hacer notar que la visita al mar muerto es muy significativa y sin embargo es muy corta la estancia y todo debe ser hecho muy rápido o realizas una cosa u otra. Deberán ser importante hacer notar a los viajeros de llevar calzado adecuado para estar en el mar, para no sufrir alguna lesión. El transporte no fue nada lindo comparado con el bus que incluye WIFI y mejor confort. La visita al lugar para comer el Pescado de Pedro, fue lo peor, muy mal servicio, la comida mal, y el precio excesivo para lo que fue. No lleven a los viajeros a este tipo de lugares pone en riesgo todo el paseo y la Magnificencia de todo el trabajo para tener a un cliente y conseguir a otros más. La guía en Masada tenia buenos conocimientos pero definitivamente el español que ofreció era malo, preferible que hablara en ingles para no poner en riesgo la explicación.
