Eilat to Dead Sea

Take a full-day trip to Masada and Ein Gedi from Eilat, with a professional driver-guide. Traveling by air-conditioned minivan, trace the shores of the Dead Sea to Masada, where the ruins of King Herod’s palaces litter a mountaintop. Ride a cable car up to witness the awesome views and archaeological ruins including the well-preserved bathhouse, Roman barracks and more. Continue to Ein Gedi, an idyllic mountain oasis with waterfalls, cliffs and springs. Pamper yourself in the mineral-rich waters and thermal pools, and enjoy time for lunch before returning to Eilat.

Travel from Eilat to two of Israel’s most iconic sites on a day trip to Masada and the Dead Sea. Take the ancient path — or a cable car — to Masada’s summit and explore King Herod’s millenia-old hilltop city; take in the restored palace murals and Roman baths, then learn the poignant story of a Jewish rebellion. Wash off the dust in the hyper-saline water of the Dead Sea, wallow in mineral-rich mud, and stroll salt-crusted beaches at the lowest point on earth.

Swim in the Dead Sea, walk through Jerusalem’s Old City, and visit Bethlehem’s biblical sites on a private tour from Eilat that includes pickup and drop-off at your hotel or port. This full-day tour offers flexibility and a personalized experience for your group of up to seven people, and takes in some of the country's highlights, including two of Israel's UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
