Review of the Masada and Dead Sea tour from Tel Aviv, with cable-car views, desert history, floating, Qumran sights, and practical tips.

“Went with zero expectations to Masada but left it trully amazed. The view from the top and all the history of Masada is very interesting and worth seeing. Dead sea as expected was very good, unfortunatelly the beach where you are allowed to be in is not so big, but the guide explained all reasons for that. So if you are in Israel this is 100% a Must!”
