We will pass Qumran where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found and proceed on to Masada. We will ascend to the top of Herod’s fortress of Masada by cable car and spend considerable time walking around this remarkable site with its fantastic view of the Dead Sea. En route back to Qumran, we will make a stop to view the site of En Gedhi (the oasis where David often hid). We will eat lunch at Qumran and then tour the archeological site. Then we will go for a swim in the Dead Sea, an experience you will never forget! The evening will be free for you to visit Jerusalem. Overnight in Jerusalem.
