MASADA • QUMRAN • DEAD SEA

Spend the day out in the Judean desert stopping at Masada, an incredible mountain top fortress built by King Herod in 30 BCE. Later, it became the last stronghold for a group of Jewish zealots whose tragic story has become a symbol of perseverance, faith and ambition. The well-preserved remains are accessed by cable car and offer an incredible view of the Roman camps and the Dead Sea. Drive past Qumran, a site close to where the famous Dead Sea Scrolls were found on your way to the Dead Sea where you can end the day “floating” in the salty, therapeutic waters. Spend the night in Jerusalem.
