IL03: Masada and the Dead Sea
A ”hot” option - to head down to the lowest place on earth – the Dead Sea.
Driving to its southern part we first visit the famous site of Masada
, and appreciate its fantastic story and archaeological remains.
We then continue to Ein-Gedi, with an optional hike to its waterfalls. Combining a lunch break + an optional visit to the factory store of “Ahavah” (Dead Sea Cosmetics company), we end with a bath at the Dead Sea itself. Feeling younger and happier, we head back.
If time and permits we could also visit, on the way back, the site of the finding of the Dead Sea Scrolls (kh. Qumran).
